Re: The Chase
thats not a dumb question but here is the answer.
im the type of person, who turns bets in early. i like to do my work in the mornings and get it over, its a flaw of mine.
when i bet this morning, toronto was the biggest favorite on the board and i suppose if you use Openers, they were the biggest favorite.
this is what makes the runline chase a little hard to follow... i suppose there is really not a true way to follow because of line movement.
check this out.
lets say the braves play at (6:00 pm cst) and at 5:59, they are a (-1.50) favorite and at this same time, thats the biggest favorite on the board but wait, the dodgers are playing at (9:00 pm cst) and at 5:59 pm they are only a (-1.40) favorite..
so at 5:59 you bet the braves (as you should) but then a couple of hours later, people load up on the dodgers and push them to a (-1.60) favorite but you following the system, have already bet the braves.. so you see, in this scenario it was impossible to bet only the biggest favorite that day.
it comes down to being a judegement call, unless you use the opener...
i lucked out last night and won on the angels, when technically the dbacks were the play yesterday.
sorry for rambling but i hope you understand what im trying to say.
ill live with the Jays today..
