Advanced Baseball Betting Strategies – Run Line Betting System

While these baseball betting strategies have made some people a lot of money, it is never a guarantee. However, we can tell you that if done consistently and with proper management they can increase your gambling profits.

What is a Run Line Bet?

The simple definition is that a Run line bet is the baseball version of a point spread bet. Like wagering on the spread, betting on the Run Line is quite popular in baseball. This is because Run lines provide the underdog team with a marginal advantage by adding runs to their final score. On the other hand, the favorite team will get a disadvantage on a run line. Thus, the favorite team will have to win by a specific score in order for the bettor o win the wager.

For instance, if the favorite team has a run line of -1.5, they must win by at least two runs for the bettor win. The sportsbook will deduct 1.5 runs from the team’s final score to determine if they still surpass their opponent after this adjustment. Today, bookies do not have to worry about having to make several calculations for grading each run line bet. This is because the sportsbook software does all of the work for them.

The underdog team benefits from a more favorable situation. If the run line is set at +1.5, they will have 1.5 runs added to their final score. While further details will be provided shortly, this is the fundamental principle behind run lines.

Unlike a baseball prop bet, a run line bet is seen as a straight wager. This is because the wagers have to be made before the start of the game,

Run Line Baseball Betting System

Run lines are a form of point spread betting where a 1.5-run handicap is given to either team. The underdog side receives the points and is shown as “+1.5”. On the other hand, the favorite team loses runs from their final score, which is shown as “-1.5.”

Since the given handicap cannot be higher than 1.5, it does not result in even-money wagers like in other sports.

For this strategy, your normal stake amount and split it into two separate wagers. You make one bet on the moneyline and one run line bet on the same game. The betting odds will determine how much to risk on the money line while the rest on the run line.

Thus, both bets will be won if your team wins by two or more runs. And that is Win with a decent profit! However, If your club only wins by one, the game results in an overall push. This method essentially allows you to create a run line of only -1.0, without that pesky hook.

Here is the formula for determining how much to risk on each half of the wager:

100/MONEYLINE = X X + 1.0 = Y 100/Y = money line wager

So, let’s say the Cubs are playing the Braves. The Cubs are the favorite so their moneyline odds are -140. If you apply the -1.5 run line, their odds become +150.

100 / 140 = 0.714
714 + 1.0 = 1.714
100 / 1.714 = 58.34

In this case, you bet $58.34 on your moneyline bet and the remaining $41.66 on the run line. A winning moneyline wager would earn a $41.67 profit, while the run line would produce $62.49 in winnings. So, if both bets win, you double your money. If one bet loses, you break even.
