I'm looking for suggestions on how to best manage juice on my baseball bets..I only bet up to 10% of my bankroll in one day..my roll is 346 dollars so I only risk 34.00 at a time..I play about 5 plays at a time..I put 4 dollars on favorites and 5 dollars on dogs..I divide the 34 dollars amongst the 5 plays..but I'm thinking that their is a way to better distribute the money to where if I have a losing day I can still possibly come out ahead..

Im no pro but I'd look for a strategy that maybe reduces your plays to 3 max. Try and pick a good dog team or low juice team. Plenty of good guys to follow on here they post their plays.

Dime for days has some nice big plays.
XSpwer has a nice streaking on his 7k plays
pierre has a nice record and many more.

Another thing to really consider. Make all bets the same amount. IF you change your wager amount it can hurt you pretty bad, could win more games than you lose yet still lose money. Also don't drop your wagers after a loss.

another note, don't pay a service. They are generally theifs

I wouldnt be concerned with keeping each play at exactly 5$ or whatever 10% is. The dogs at plus $ will make up for the juice on faves. On any night you might have a 9 t o win five and a five to win 8. It will average out. No fear and play the ones you like !

@razorback..those are good ideas..just as a note I do not bet favs over -150 and I have a solid strategy for picking my plays..I just need a better method of managing how much I put on each team..the goal is to find a way to put the most money on my best plays

One way to increase your roll would be to press you bets up a unit when hot and back to lowest unit when not. Good luck with the bases. Can be a great sport to bet and can be very tough too at times

I'm thinking of lowering my limit for favs from -150 to -140..I usually don't play any favorite that is higher than -150..but maybe lower that to -140

Wouldnt lower the limit. If your unit is 5 who cares if you lay 10 to win 5 if you love the play

Silly, what if there is value on a -160 favorite?
your entire rigid approach is wrong but your 10 percent rule is solid.
play your best games and use them in small parlays with the rest or just the best
build a roll , get to 1k and put 4 dollar bets behind you

also, get assertive but pick your spots.

Prices or "lines" are often made to run some novice bettors off, along with many other games the odds makers play. Don't ever let a line run you off if you like the play. I personally haven't done it but just watching this year, I think if you played the dog for $10 in each huge favor you'd be up money big time.

I'd seriously look into getting your wager amount up to $25 a play. I say this because at you're current amount a small win streak really doesn't get you anywhere. Play for $25 or risk $30 and see how playing 1-2 games a day works. I'd look very close at the three I mentioned above, dimes for day has a nice play with low juice today. It may lose, but his big plays went like 3-4 yesterday or something very well. Don't look at the past, just look forward.

Another note, If you get up in a day and don't have a wager currently out don't risk your winnings. Sleep on them

So much generic strategy analysis up in hurrrrr

whats the point of posting if you have nothing to offer to help the guy? Generic is about all you can give him. If he's looking for pics, well he can find plenty here as well for free of charge.

Some people just have to make stupid comments to make themselves feel better

Razor you are 100% correct. Bigpussy is coming off a ban and brings nothing to this forum but negative vibes. Notice he has no advice!

Literally the only thing you have brought to the forum this year is two baseball threads down a combined 100 units. Impressive
The single greatest determining factor in totals are the teams respective bullpens. What's their performance like? Have they been used a lot in the previous few games? If both teams have avg+ bullpens or better, take the under. Unless their starting pitchers are both trash. Then stay away

perhaps you know this but since your question was related to managing juice.. a good way to d that is to take a -1 line on favorites... if your book doesn't offer it, then you combine both the ML (-.5) and the RL (-1.5)...
