Don't have the RL-1 at your book? Here's how

[cisco]

If you like -1, you can make the line by betting some on the ML and some -1.5. It just takes a little algebra, but it's well worth it.
Here is an example:

Sportsbook
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 $56.90 at -132 to win $43.11
Bet $43.11 at -1.5 (+164) to win $70.70.

You have just bet the RL -1!

Screamin- Too much for you? :142smilie

I also have it in a download. Just plug in your RL and RL -1? numbers. Ask Jack or one of the mods for my e-mail.

Cisco, my email is ********** edit admin

would like to see your figures and such

First, Thx Cisco, for posting this formula.

I'm not sure exactly what the "true" definition is of the outcome of your formula. I'm struggling with that part.

I follow your logic and I "think" you have favorably reduced the odds, however, you still must win the bet by 2 runs (not -1 as stated) to win both sides.

I'll try to get your email. I'd really like to see the download you mentioned.

Good Luck on your action

:mj07: :mj07: thx for the laughs

BoL to everyone!!

You've changed the line:
from ML-132
to RL-1 +113

Win by 1 and you have a push
Win by 2 and win 113.81

Lose the game- Lose 100 instead of 132

E HOE LAY...........

 

[jr11]

IF they won by 1 run you break even, hence playing them -1 in the first place.

my man is going to EURO's, how does that work

 

[Dr Feelgood]

does this work if both the m'l and runline are minus???

phils -225 r/l -120??

69 to win 31 m/l
31 to win 25 r/l???

I played DET today using this method.....

Det -110, RL +132...+$$$$$$$$$$$

I'm drunk right now, so I'm unclear on the actual numbers, but these are close.. Tomorrow morning when I wake up,, I'll have a winner and that's what it about.

I can't figure it out by hand but my excel formula says:

ML 122.73
-1? 54.55

Your -1 line would be -177

ML 52.38 to win 47.62
-1? 47.62 to win 71.43
100 wins 119.05

RL -1 +119
