I thought I lost on my Texas play but got 1.5 and won since they lost by a run. Did Texas make it as a play. Does it count as a win? Not enuff time to study up on this but explain what RL means. ML stands for even up? RL is a point difference to a team to help the game even up? My first season at this- can ya tell. A win is always good.
whooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooo.

If you had Texas on the RL--run line--means the dog (texas) gets 1 1/2 runs added to their score....Translarion, the lost by 1 run---add your 1 1/2--means you covered it by 1/2 run


however; in post #26 you stated it as Texas EVEV so there fore it was posted that way...For record purposes, we'll count it as a loss here, cause that how it was presented, for your personal record, feel free to record it as a win....In the future make sure you stipulate ML - Money Line, or RL -run line meaning your either getting 1 1/2 runs or giving 1 1/2 runs...thanks for participating...Despite the record, keep em coming---this thread is for everyone...the Kapt

[BetweenTheLines]

my baseball pick of the day is phillies ML

[BetweenTheLines]

oh man atl is the play of the day. I played the Nationals. Crap 6-1 is a pretty good record. GL to you guys

[Blackbeard]

So are we supposed to fade these plays or bet them? I'm not sure, whats the records for them.

[Spearit]

Ok Kapt- no ego here on my record- I played it the winning way and the line was not up when I sent the vote in. Just even with a line through it at Bodog with no other info. Played the RL, when it came up. So a win. Not a capper, just happy to be aboard the Kruise. 0-4 now on American League- I'll try the National League for awhile. BOL

[knockonwood]

0-2!!!
N.B.A.!!!
Tor. plus 2-!!!
Wish the Best!!! Knock!

Kapt - Just for newbies to bases
ML----MONEYLINES

Perhaps the most obvious difference between betting baseball, as compared to football, or hoops is that you are required to do so on the moneyline (ML), as opposed to beating spreads (ATS). Basically you are simply picking the winner and the price you pay is adjusted depending upon who is the favorite, or underdog.

This can be a dangerous proposition for a baseball beginner who is prone to playing big favorites. Keep in mind that with every –300 favorite you lose, you must win three to get back to even. With that said you could also put a huge strain on your bankroll if you take the polar opposite approach, and continually try to land the big underdogs.

A safer route for the beginner would be to stick to playing small favorites, small underdogs, and totals. If you stay between the ‘140’s, you shouldn’t stray too far off the beaten path assuming you’re winning a fair percentage.

If the situation arises that you feel you must play the bigger odds, perhaps try doing so on the runline to minimize potential disaster.

RL--------RUNLINES

To keep it simple, by playing the runline you are basically creating a line of 1 ½-runs on the game and you then choose whether you wish to ‘take’ or ‘give’ the 1 ½-run spread.

For example if you wanted to wager on the Yankees as a –250 favorite, but were a little hesitant to pay the big price, you could bet New York on the runline. To win your bet, the Yankees would have to win by two runs. The –250 moneyline price would most likely look more like –150 on the runline.

Of course more than 20-percent of MLB games end in a one run differential, so you must weigh that factor before running around playing the RL on every game.

Also keep in mind that as you can lay the 1 ½-runs for the favorite, you can also take them and play the underdog. To win this bet the underdog must either win, or lose by a run to cover the runline. However, in this case you are asked to pay a higher price for the cushion and in many cases there isn’t much value to be found.

my baseball pick of the day is phillies ML

This would have cancelled out the FL 4*, but I don't think you made it in time...1 hr 10 mins before first pitch...GL BTL!

Play them...the POD record since the beginning of the season is 7-1, +21.26 units which means a $100/unit bettor is up slightly over $2126 since last Monday...let's keep it rolling.
