Here is an example. Line is Yankees -170 and the runline -1.5 is Yankees +130:
Bet $170 on the moneyline to win $100
Bet $100 on the -1.5 runline to win $130
If the Yankees win by 2 or more, you win $230
If the Yankees win by 1, you win $100 on the -170 bet and lost $100 on the -1.5 runline so net is zero.
Basically betting $270 to win $230 so it's like a -1 runline at -117 (270/230). Like to use -1 runlines when I like a game that's around -170 since don't like to bet high lines in baseball.

Instructions:
input the lines in cell b3 and b5
if you want to WIN a fixed amount of money, input that amount in cell b8 and you would RISK the amounts in b9 and b10.
if you want to RISK a fixed amount of money, input that amount in b12 and you would RISK the amounts in b13 and b14
As an FYI, some websites offer -1 lines. Generally making your own -1 line gives you slightly better odds than the -1 line that they offer.
