Tampa Bay!

Just asked this on Randercity thread and since it concerns Tampa Bay i thought i'd ask you. This is my first year betting MLB and i'm not sure what the answer is to this question. At a site i visited they have Tampa Bay playing 41 games this year vs -200 or teams for a -$1365 loss. Does that mean if i had bet on the -200 or more fav vs TB each of those 41 games i would have a profit of +$1365.00?
No it wouldn't it would be less than that as they have won a few of those +200 games. When Tampa loses a +200 game it is a -1 unit loss and a 1 unit win but the -200 favorite would be -2 unit loss and a 1 unit win so no you would not be up the same amount I am going to look and add up the numbers and I will let you know in a bit what you would have been betting on the -200 fav!
If you had bet the -200 or better favorite all year against Tampa you would be +12.5 units at 100.00 a game that is +1250.00 dollars hope this helps!

was w/ you RBI on TB but was pickin spots-thinkin fossum was gonna do better than yesterday-dead wrong. I know the sox are a lost cause and all those TB kids playin for fun -- good to see-had to think avgs get the hapless sox w/now happier albeit eliminated starter LOWE. SOX small - likin sox small tonight-but 100% agree w/ tb plays-GL and keep it up
Thanks RB. What got me started on this was remembering reading somewhere that you would make a small profit year after year if bet 1 unit on the DOG each and everytime the moneyline fav is -200 or more. After seeing the $ report on TB i now know this statement must be false.
However, what if you knew/thought BEFORE the season started that TB would not be very profitable,if at all, vs -200+ moneylines and simply did not bet any of those games. AND what if you also eliminated 3 more bad teams you thougt would be losers vs -200+ moneylines before the season started and then bet on the rest of the 26 teams everytime they were dogs vs -200 or more moneylines. Here are the $ results for each team this year vs -200+ moneylines.Based on a $100 wager.

Throw out TB and 2 or three of the other losers and you wind up with a nice profit. ?
