Does this system seem too good to be true? I mean, a relatively straightforward 2game chase on good home teams playing at home? I can't argue with the statistics of the track record so far, but if this proves to be a consistent deliverer of winners, sports betting can't be this easy, can it?
I didn't say it was just based on good home teams playing at home...that is the easy explanation in a nutshell so to speak.
There is a lot more behind it than just picking good home teams.
Now that I think about it, I should apologize. You probably put in alot of work tweaking the computer and developing this, and I just crapped all over it as if your picks amounted to nothing more than common sense.
I hope this works out for you, and for the me for the sake of my bankroll too.

No apology needed.
And I don't need a computer for this system...it's pretty simple...but it's a little more complicated than just good home teams.
The truth is...you can beat the line with very simple ideas and systems in most professional sports.
solid as always MJ good luck with the 3 plays on fri
Preview: PHILADELPHIA at FLORIDA, July 17th, 2009
all in the first four innings - and nine hits over six innings of an 8-0 loss.
Nolasco hasn't faced the Phillies this season, but was 3-1 with a 2.96 ERA in four starts versus Philadelphia in 2008.
Howard has three hits - all homers - in 13 at-bats against Nolasco.

We have never used or mentioned using Alternate Run Lines. This system is mostly concerned with trying to win one wager in the first two games...so the dog ML is what you want.

FAQ
3). I'm confused...I thought this was a Run Line system but I see you are using ML odds for some games. Why?
In theory, most of our wagers will be on heavy favorites because we are filtering for the best at home vs the worst away match ups. However, because of pitching match ups we will sometimes have dog odds or very small favorite odds available on the ML. We are not locked into just using Run Lines...we want the best chance to win our wager...AND have reasonable or plus odds.
If we can get + dog ML odds or small favorite odds <-115 ML on a team that we think is over performing vs it's competition we can just use the ML.
No need to lessen our chances with the Run Line in that situation. We'll take the ML when we can get it.. .but it should be rare, because we are filtering for the very best favorites at home.
Braves beat the Run Line Thursday night for +1.10 units.
Florida lost...so we go onto GM 2 for 2 units with the Florida series.
Philly @ Florida +118 2 units GM 2
Friday series starts
Detroit @ Yankees -1.5 -115 1 unit GM 1
Baltimore @ Chicago White Sox -1.5 +130 1 unit GM 1
Good luck!

Here we go for the second half of the season. I have no idea if the All Star break will effect the system. I tend to ignore these type of things. Let's see what happens.
Thursday starts
Philadelphia @ Florida -1.5 +170 GM 1
NY Mets @ Atlanta -1.5 +110 GM 1
Overall series 23-4 +19.56 units
=======================================
How to play the 2 Game RL Chaser System
1). The home team is "chased" for a winning wager in the first two games of a series.
Important! We only play GM 2 if GM 1 is a losing wager.
2). Wagering is simple. Determine your unit size, keep in mind that losing chases will cost you approximately -3 units or a little more.
3). 1 unit is wagered on GM 1 and if necessary, 2 units are wagered on GM 2.
If the GM 1 wager wins, the chase stops and we bank the profit for that match up.
4). If the GM 2 wager loses we stop the chase losing approximately -3 units on that chase. :>(
In a nutshell, we are picking the best performing home teams vs the worst performing away teams and expecting the home team to win one of it's first two wagers, which will give us a profit by using the best combination of Run Line, or ML odds as described above with a one unit and two unit progression.
===================================
FAQ
1). How do you pick which teams to wager on?
Performance and efficiency stats are used to filter and pick the match ups that will (in theory) provide the best opportunity for a Run Line win. (Favorite wins by 2 runs or more). Never be afraid to use the Run Line, these are specifically picked to win on the Run Line (in theory of course). However it makes sense to use dog or small fave ML's when available, just because it's a better chance for a winning wager.
2). Why use Run Lines? Why not just play them all on the ML?
Because this is a chase system that progresses from 1 to 2 unit wagers, using Run line odds helps us keep our risk and bankroll management reasonable. Capping our losses as near to 3 units as possible is one of our goals to avoid killing our bankroll with a bad run of losses.
In other words we need the dog odds whenever possible by using Run Lines or the rare ML dog, or very small favorites on the ML <-115.
3). I'm confused...I thought this was a Run Line system but I see you are using ML odds for some games. Why?
In theory, most of our wagers will be on heavy favorites because we are filtering for the best at home vs the worst away match ups. However, because of pitching match ups we will sometimes have dog odds or very small favorite odds available on the ML. We are not locked into just using Run Lines...we want the best chance to win our wager...AND have reasonable or plus odds.
If we can get + dog ML odds or small favorite odds <-115 ML on a team that we think is over performing vs it's competition we can just use the ML.
No need to lessen our chances with the Run Line in that situation. We'll take the ML when we can get it...but it should be rare, because we are filtering for the very best favorites at home.
4). Does it make a difference if it's a 2 game, 3 game or 4 game series?
No.
5). Ok...Ok...I think I get it. What is the easiest way to play this system?
1. Determine your unit size...multiply your unit x 3 to make sure you can stomach a chase loss that large. Adjust to what feels comfortable for you and your bankroll.
2. Look for the matchups posted here...keep in mind there are Thur/Friday and Mon /Tues starts to different 3 and 4 game series.
3. Play Gm 1 for 1 unit. If it wins, bank it and play the others or wait for the next series matchups.
4. If the GM 1 wager loses, play GM 2 of the series for 2 units.
5. Play ML odds up to -115...if it's higher than that switch to the Run Line. (Most cases you will be on the Run Line). 6. If Gm 2 loses, stop the chase for that match up and take your loss.
7. Repeat as necessary.
6). Does that cover it?
There are a few situations I didn't cover that will eventually come up.
If we cap ML's at -115 we should also cap RL's at -115. The Yankees and late season favorites will become an issue. We'll have to figure that out as we go. It might be wise to just eat the GM1 losses when GM2 odds are just too high... RL > -115.
Just because we had early success, don't "POUND" it now. It might fall apart, who knows? :think2:
But it is a lot of fun to play, with quite a bit of action and excitement with large RL dogs and GM 2 double wagers that spice it up for reasonable risk.
Keep your units reasonable and I think we might really have a fun system here.
ur series is W/L recored is 23-4
if u win the first game of a 2 game series ur w/l record is obviously 1-0
if u lose the fist game and win the second of the 2 game series is the w/l record in this case still considered 1-0 or 1-1
if u lose the first game of a series and the second game of a series would the win / loss record in this case be considered 0-1 or 0-2
iow is the straight win loss record for ur series play 23-4 or 23-8
You have to look at the series (2 games) as a whole.
We do not lose anything unless the game 2 wager loses.
So...the record is based on each series...if it was a winner or a loser.
If game 1 wins...obviously that is a winning series. 1-0
If game 1 loses...it can still be a winning series if game 2 wins with a 2 unit wagers. Still 1-0 for that series.
If game 1 and game 2 loses...we lose that series. 0-1
Think in terms of series...rather than individual games...it's less confusing.
We have 2 games to win one wager in each series match up...and still count the whole thing as a win.
Do it a few times and it all becomes clear...explaining these things in a forum to thousands of people is always tricky.
If they keep winning...trust me...you'll get it.
