Philadelphia Phillies MLB 2011

Funny you post this. I was looking into doing a daily philles play for a flat amount. Say 5 bucks. Take them on the RL when they are favored, ML when they are the dog. Bet all 162 games.

Last year they had the best record in baseball and finished + money( small though) if you bet the ML on every game. I will look that number up.

They were +971.

I assume that is based on wagering to win $100 per game, so you profited 971 by the end of the year.

I wonder how that changes if you took the RL. I checked last week, and i think they won 50 1-run games, so that means you lose 50 more bets than you would have with the ML. However, you would lose less on the games that they lose outright when you are laying 200 or more on the ML.

Just an update here guys.. I won't be playing any of the above scenarios with Philadelphia this season. I'll be capping on a game-by-game basis and looking for my Value spots.

Right off the bat, first game of the season for them today and the line is crazy high, totally inflated. You should NOT be playing Philly today on the ML or even the RL. Absolutely zero Value and if you make bets like this all year you'll be broke before you know it. The Value play in this game was actually Houston +1.5, +115.. anytime you can get plus money AND a run (+1.5) it's almost always an automatic Value play. Throw in the fact the Total for this game was only 7, and it makes it even better. Philly might win 4-2, but the Value was on Houston.

Better teams to play with this Season will be the Atlanta Braves & Chicago White Sox. The Braves will get much less respect this season being in Philly's division and everyone thinks they'll just run away with it.. well don't be surprised if the Braves are right there at the end.

Good Luck this year guys, and remember.. CHASING KILLS. If you must Chase, do a much shorter concentrated chase on something very specific, collect your profit, and move on. Don't keep chasing the same thing all season long.

Cheers
