Biggest Favorite System Plays

I will be starting a new system tomorrow in which 1 unit will be bet each day on the biggest favorite on the board. In the event of a line tie, preferential treatment will go to the team with the best overall record. Opening lines will be used and all games will go Action!!

All plays will be posted in this thread...

Hi, I am speaking from experience, you may want to choose from the biggest favorites on the board, not just the biggest of them all... that may end up losing you a lot of money, consider the juice you will have to lay. Upsets happen all the time, I will use last summer as an example because this sticks out in my mind. The Nats were in New York to face the Yankees and of course the Yanks were favored something like -300 to -400 every game I believe. They ended up losing 2 out of 3 to them. So, they would have been the biggest favs on the board those days, and you would have lost $600 or $700 dollars if you were a $100 bettor.

very tough system ace, but i wish u the best of luck. i think it might be more profitable to fade the highest ML favorite each day instead

We'll see how it goes. Im gonna see this system through to the end of the reg. season--Its just the biggest fav on the board every day for 1 unit---my regular plays are between 2 & 5 units and I bet about 5-8 of them a day so this shouldnt hurt too bad even if it goes bust---We'll c!!

Laying -200 to -300 everyday means you'll need to win 66-75% of the games just to break even. Good luck! Go back and do the math, you'd be ahead if you were fading instead.

Disclaimer: Fade me or trail me, but you do so at your own risk! This is gambling and trust me you could lose, just ask my bookie! No "megastar galaxy lock of the years or game of the week/year, unless otherwise posted I play everything to win 1 unit! If you lose trailing me, I don't want to hear any crying!

So far you are certainly correct--wanted to play this system out for the 2nd half and see what happens (only a unit each so really will not determine my overall bankroll) This 1st week has been a rough one at 4-3 or 3-4 but Im curious to see how it'll shake out down the stretch (I have a feeling that the biggest fav will get on a run as the rosters get cut down)!! Im sticking with it!!
