......and I think there is a way to make a slight improvement to it. A bit of a twist on Friday.
Quote: beerseasonLet's keep the streak going, yesterday was good for me.
I wish I would have gotten in on this at the start of the season.
First 2 days have been good for me.

Quote: steeldcoIs Bovada a ten cent line, or is it 20 cents?
When I read your post i read
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

I laughed our loud at this. I think it means he doesn't understand what your talking about. In which I don't either.
Quote: steeldcoTo re-phrase my question, at Bovada, is the spread between the favorite and the dog in any particular game .10, or is it .20?
Sorry for the bla bla bla, was not meant as a shot at you or anything. I am really bad at terminology when it comes to sports betting. I don't know the answer to your question but I will post a few lines and maybe that answers your question.

Generally speaking, you would want to find the site with the smallest spread, since you are then, in effect, paying less juice.
Quote: steeldcoGWAE, OK. Thanks. Now I think that I see the issue. From what you have posted it looks like Bovada uses a 20 cent line. Note that the difference in the Minnesota vs. Toronto game is 20 (160-140), hence the term 20 cent. On the SBG site that I use for lines, they are 10 cent lines. In the same Minnesota vs. Toronto game, SBG has it as Toronto-163 and Minnesota is +153. Again, the difference there is only 10.

Mine uses multiple lines but mostly .10 cent lines but I have seen .15 .2 and more

I used to bet a lot of college football. I would shop the lines around and would quite often use different sites on the same weekend. That is probably something I should do again. I just hate having money tied up on multiple sites with all of the shutdowns there have been.
Quote: steeldcoYep. I understand. I really think it's just a matter of using a site with 10 cent lines since the vast majority of the picks are dogs, you will be realizing 10% more per win.
Yeah that is a huge difference. I will look into other sites tonight. Thanks for your info.

Quote: steeldcoGood Luck! Baseball's dirty little secret is that it's not ALL about the pitching.
yeah I know, I just have a bad feeling about today. Even though they have like 75 hits in the last 4 games. Maybe that is just the cynic in me.
I am not taking anything today, will be nice to not check my phone every hour.

Quote: mickeycrimmSteeldco, you know what would be an interesting stat? Where would you be with the +130 dogs if you just blindly bet all of them.
mickeycrimm, per a website called sportility.net (http://www.sportility.net/cgi-bin/league_page.cgi?league=mlb), out of a sampling of a total of 8,854 games, there were 4,200 games in which dogs were getting at least 130. In those 4,200 games, 1,622 were winners. A win rate of 38.62%.
I would say that my MLB betting system kicks the crap out of that %. Yes?
