Ted - Thank you for the selections, as I am continuing to follow you. I do have one question though - do you have a juice amount that you just will not consider laying??

The reason I ask this, is because it seems as though you pick quite a few games at -1.5 runs. Over the past 4, you are 0-4, however...if you had laid the juice you would be 3-1. Just an observation I have made..I am not being critical or anything, just picking your brain a little bit. Looking forward to following your selections for the rest of the season.

Generally speaking, in MLB I won't lay more then -140 on the ML. As to the RL, I will normally go that route if I am confident that the team will win by 2 or more runs and I can get either plus money or lay low juice. Now, the one thing about playing a home team on the RL is that you are taking the risk that if the team is leading by 1 run after 8 innings or the game is tied, that the home team might not bat or you will need a 2 run HR to cover the RL and that has been the case in the last 4 RL plays. It goes with the territory. It is not for everyone. If you are willing to lay numbers like -200 and above, you may get more winners but when you lose, it is like two losses instead of one. For me, with 162 played per team for the year, I want to try and keep the juice relatively low on most my plays as the intensity and meaning of daily play varies from game to game and series to series. It's not like football where each game is important and played once a week or basketball in the college conference games, tournaments and the Big Dance where each game is crucial or the NBA playoffs where every game is important. MLB is a long grinding season. Therefore, keep the price low in the long haul is my approach. Hope that helps a little.

It does. Thanks for the reply. I am more of a gambler than a capper, so I normally choose to take the moneyline. Good luck to you today, I hope we both win some cash!

awesome to see you on Tampa OMT. I have been struggling as of late laying off the leans I like (that are hitting) and playing losers, so It makes me little more confident in this play that you are on it as well. :toast:
