Bet the ML on the fav you want. Say the fav is -115.

1.15 units to win one unit.

risk one unit on the fav -1.5 runs at +150 ( or whatever it is).

If fav wins by 2+, both bets win.

If fav wins by one exactly, you break even.

The amount you win on ML, is what you risk on the -1.5 line.

Take 100/ML= x
Add 1 = (x +1)
Take 100 and divide by (x +1)
= the % to put on the ML

the remaining % is placed on the -1.5 run line

take this example

White Sox (-132)
White Sox -1.5 (+164)


Take 100/132=.7576
Add 1 = 1.7576
Take 100 and divide by 1.7576.
=56.90

Bet
57% at -132 to win $43.11

and the remaining amount on the RL

Bet 43% at -1.5 (+164) to win $70.70.
