Baseball Strategy Question

[BuffaloBill]

A friend of mine told me that if you bet on every dog for the whole season at +135 to +165, then you will end up making a lot of money.

Just wondering if anyone thinks that there is any truth to this.

I would love to know the numbers on this over the last few seasons.

Thanks guys.

Off hand, I would say at best you may have made a little $$ but certainly not 'a lot'. It just isn't that easy. But I'm sure somebody will come up with the actual numbers.

Thanks old school, I appreciate the help.

Very interesting.

Do you have the actual numbers of how these have turned out over the past few seasons?

Thanks again.

Well, just for the hell of it I played 'em today. 4 plays came up:

Milwaukee +144 (won)
Cincinnati +149 (lost)
Seattle +146 (won)
Texas +163 (pending)

Since I can't pick my ass, I'll try it for a week or so and see what happens.

Bill, haven't tracked it in about 5 seasons...There was a time those 150 favs rocked and rolled for me but I gave up peering at line moves and keeping track of 5 or 6 different shops for favorable lines moves.Sports wagering for me now is purely recreational $$$$$$$$...No yelling at the TV,screaming at the computer cussing the radio or like in the real old days getting on the phone for friggin' scores every 10 min.'s or so...Man oh man did the babes hate that.
I have tracked some of the folks on here for about 6 years now{doesn't cost anything and better than any sitcom ever produced] and I am quite sure a few of the bases vets can give ya the #'s.
You might ask KCWOLF/Raymond/Fletcher.. they are as knowledable as they come when it comes to Bases.Plus drop in a BleedDodgerBlue thread...He's so good w/#'s its scarey.
Someone may even know of a web site that has the data...Hell I had to go to the Yankees schedule just to research the trend Clem mentioned about the Yanks after a loss..I had no idea of a web site that kept that kind of data..
Hell,there probably a web site that could tell me how much money I pissed away over the years...but PLEASE..don't anybody post it..The memory is bad enough..

Have fun...it's over in the blink of an eye.

If you had just a minute to breathe and they granted you one final wish
Would you ask for something like another chance?
Or something similar as this? Don't worry too much
It'll happen to you as sure as your sorrows are joys
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of
The low spark of high-heeled boys

Thanks Old School, I'll do some more research.
