baseball betting question

[ambrose]

Are there any books out there who offer lines of minus (1) in baseball??? Normally I see the run line at +/- 1.5 runs ...I have never seen a line of -1 before. Do some books offer this?

None of the books I have ever used offered that. But as you know, I have kind of found a way to manipulate the lines so that you are betting the game you want at -1. You just need to put equal amounts on the moneyline and runline. For example, using tomorrow's game between Toronto and Boston, if you bet $100 on Toronto -150 and $100 on Toronto -1.5 (+135) you have created a risk $250 to win $235 betting proposition in which you would push on a 1 run win. In this example you have basically created a -1 (-106) line (250/235).
