Making Your Own Runline System For Baseball Articles | Gambling

Using the runline in baseball betting by making your own runline.

Runline wagering is popular in baseball betting.  The runline is when a baseball bettor takes a team at -1.5 runs or +1.5 runs.  In baseball, games are not won by helf a point.  That is the whole point of a runline bet!

The books set the lines knowing this.  A fact that you should know is that 25% of the baseball games are decided by only one run!  Thus, what if you could make your own runline?  Well, hear me out because you can!

This baseball system is not my creation.  I found it while surfing the internet and I have had some success using this baseball runline system.  It is not complex, but if used properly could increase your bankroll for the football season! 

The general theory for this baseball runline sysytem goes something like this:

1.  You take the $100.00 that you would have either bet on the moneyline or the traditional -1.5 run- line.  You then split that $100 up into a moneyline bet and a traditional runline bet.

2.  You then use the following formula, 100/MONEYLINE = X + 1.0 = Y
(once you know Y) 100/Y = moneyline wager, to figure out how much you need to bet on the moneyline.

3.  You then bet the balance of the funds on the runline.

Thus, if your team wins by two runs, you cash both bets.  If your team loses then you lost your bet and would have lost it one way or another  And if your team only wins by one run then you have earned yourself a push on a game in which your regular moneyline bet would have lost.

The formula is not as complex as it seems.  Try it for a few days until you get the hang of it.

Just remember, that between 20 percent to 30 percent of all baseball games in the MLB are decided by one run.  Thus, by creating a -1.0 runline for yourself you may be reducing your odds on individual plays, however, you are limiting your exposure while also improving your long term odds at a profit.
