New Strategy

Smitler, my input from your SBR Chasing both ways and not skipping the 1st game discussion.

If v1 wins at +100 you are up 100. Stop there, +100 on v1

Since V1 won, we know V2 lost. Let's say at -125, so you are down -125 on v2. Next you chase v2 and say game 2 wins (assuming you bet enough to cover game 1 loss and win 100).

Now you are up +100 on V2. So you netted +200 total between V1 and V2..

NOW, if you waited to see the outcome of both V1 and V2 game 1's, you are always gonna chase the version that loses. But, you did not pick up the unit on the version that won. So, now you are only playing to pick up 1 unit

Whereas, if you started at game 1's, you are always gonna win the 1st game one one version and chase to win the loser, netting 2 units.

So, skipping the 1st games only yields 1 unit, where betting both game one's and chasing would net 2 units.

Does that make sense/help Smitler?

Playing both ways is the way to go on first game. Especially if you are a double tap player.

Might be that the Game 1 with stl/fla is a 710 and the atl game is a 735, so the start times are too close together. Especially if your book, like betus, closes the window 5 minutes before the star time. If the 1st game's 1st inning is a long one, or does not start exactly at 710, the chance to get in that second bet is tight.

Smitty, I am going AJM on the LAA, SEA, and MIL games tonight. 1st time I am really doing this seriously after coming to a better understanding of betting both ways after thinking about the 1st inning chase discussion.

I am rolling the dice on the phillies game and just going JM. They are HOT right now and playing at home, so I just feel super confident on them winning tonight and do not want to waste the AJM bet on the sorry ass Muts. That said, this game will probably lose b/c it is looks like the easiest pick of the 4. I hate when I have supreme confidence in a pick, b/c it always seems to bite me in the arse.

See you guys later tonight.

Its Anti-JM (John Morrison system). So if the team to bet on with JM is Philadelphia on the ML, then the AJM would be the Mets on the +1.5 Run Line.

My book has SFO/ATL as a 750 start. That puts it too close to the 8pm game, no?
