MLB 18/05/11 + an interesting statistic/trend

[gettingfatter]

Hi, I actually dont have any picks for tonight, took a while off in the middle of April as I didnt really have the spare money to gamble with and I am glad because the system I follow has been :puke since. I basically just bet Divisional Underdogs with a few filters to get rid of teams in a bad hitting slump etc. Since 2004 it has won 18 units a year or more every year (in 06 it won 85 units). This year so far it is -37 units. I am thinking of jumping back in head first as I feel like it really cant get much worse. This year it has gone 25-69 at an average price of 2.32. It is very strange because it seems as though underdogs overall are hitting well and Home underdogs are only winning roughly 5 units so Away underdogs must be destroying. This is all temporary variance and I am sure it will turn around, so I think now is the time to be jumping aboard. I have a bit of spare cash lying around now so will dump that into pinnacle and start with todays games.

Re: MLB 18/05/11 + an interesting statistic/trend That definitely is an interesting statistic. Either way, the value is in most cases on the underdog (even though this year is -37 units with that particular kind of selection). I've been following a guy (not with money) who's keeping track of what would happen if you were only to be on the away team. 8 or 9 out of 10 times the away team is above evens, while recently the away teams have always been getting at least 50% of the wins. On a night where 75% or more of the away teams win, it can be incredibly lucrative. It's interesting, but the question remains: is it gonna be lucrative in the long term? It seems like you have a huge set of statistics, or did you gather this information online?
