Anybody here think it's possible to make consistent profits by blindly betting on all underdog moneylines? People keep saying laying huge chalk will kill you in the end; why not try the opposite? Only problem is you need a large bankroll to deal with the long losing streaks.

nah, you have to pick your spots....

we were talking about this in the NHL room the other day, and last year betting every ML dog would have netted you a loss.... however ROAD ML dogs were up huge.... these trends change from year to year.

If you had a good number of outs and made sure you got the best possible number each time, you might not get so badly hurt, but doubt you would win much either....

Betting only ML dogs is a good strategy (IMO) but you still have to be able to pick your spots and find some value.

Maybe if you did it in certain situations, e.g. after the favs had won
far more than they should for a week? If i recall, one Saturday in
NCAAB, Fishhead bet every dog ATS and won quite a few units.
This was after he noticed a similar situation as mentioned above.

last season in the nba if you played two team parlay round robins with all dogs every day you would have won ~430 units. There were some stretches were you would lose 100 or 200 units in a week or two (when favorites cashed regularly) and others were you would win that much, but yeah. VERY streaky. I didn't look back any further than that as I haven't bet in over 2 months and I was looking at it when I quit.

Keep in mind if there is a full slate of games the total number of parlays is, I think, 150 or 136. So, if you normally bet $100/game, you probably don't want to make $100 the unit size.
