I have been following 2 systems one for mlb and the other for the nba. So far I've won my last 11 mbl bets and I'm 2 from 2 with my 2 team parlay bets for the nba.

If anyone is interested, I'll post the systems selections here.

Since the start of the mlb season.

outlay 158.00
in 164.45
profit +6.45 units

NBA

outlay 40.00
in 61.85
profit +21.85 units

Very interested Benny, anything that involves a systematic approach to a team game I would love to have a look at,

I follow the NBA closely, and am amazed at the amount of short priced faves that bite the dust. There are plenty of teams winning priced between the 3 and 5 dollar marks, almost daily.

Makes the all-ups very hard to get, even with 4 or 5 teams that look like certain winners.

Looking forward to seeing what you have

Cheers

Here's some mbl game according to the system.

Houston 2.25
Pittsburgh -1.5 2.30

San Diego 2.70
NY Mets -1.5 1.95

Arizona 1.90
St Louis -1.5 2.35

With these odds you can back both teams.

just clarifying benny..game 1..pittsburgh won 7-0..so collect on the $2.30..& a bit in front if you backed both? cheers..

ps..new to mlb..have been looking at their site..don't fully understand scoring stats..
