Let's take a look at an example to see how to use the table. On April 6, 2010, the Las Vegas Hilton offered the following bets on the Yankees vs. Red Sox game. As always, the home team is listed last.
Yankees vs. Red Sox
TEAM MONEY LINE TOTAL RUN LINE
Yankees 125 9.5 -170
Red Sox -135 150
The fair line on the Yankees would be +130, which can be found by splitting the juice between the two teams. Next, look up the value in the table for +130 and 9.5, which is -152. So fair run line bets would be:
Yankees +1.5 -152
Red Sox -1.5 +152
The actual run lines are -170 and +150. Assuming my analysis was correct, the house edge on the Yankees run line would be 4.20% and on the Red Sox it would be 0.79%.
By the way, the actual score of the game was Yankees 6, Red Sox 4.
The next table shows the fair run lines for home underdogs. The reason for the significant difference between it and the away underdog table above is because it is more valuable to get the extra 1.5 runs on an away team. This is because the game will be over after any winning play by the home team in the 9th or later inning. Thus, there are a lot of games where the home team wins by one run.
........found chart LC, above ex is for away dog and RL......IN this ex shud u avoid NYY since -170 and true line is -152 ....but house edge is on NYY. so go with the house? and play NYY, and they did win
