I will be posting a new thread soon.

Sam that's some good stuff. I think you used some of my hockey parlay system in your rules, but just so you know I use something a bit different in baseball.

In baseball I will not use the  bank method with a pocket account. I'm just going to let it run on it's own, whether up or down, no set bankroll. I also started using the 2 strongest dogs (closest to +100), it could have been home or away. I the switched to more handicapping usin Degen's Dog system spreadsheet as a guide. As Oilcountry stated, the key is handicapping the best Dogs that day. The betting line is simply public betting and there is usually value elsewhere.

If you are betting RRL (dog -1.5) it would be better to use road teams to get that extra AB in the top of the 9th. Also if you are trying to decide on 2 teams that are close on odds you might want to look at the totals number on the game. If one game is O/U 6 and another O/U 9, I'd lean toward the 9 game. With an expected high scoring game, there is more variance to the score increasing your chances of a game won by 2 or more.

Best of luck, I will follow.
