Risk your top bet, 10 units on a -200 favorite in MLB? If it loses that can whipe out a whole weeks worth of profits....any thoughts?

Yes I would. You can't always be a grinder.
Historically, the best gamblers always took calculated risks.

I you bet a game at 2-1, and that game goes south, you'd have to hit your next two flat bets just to break even, which is why I preach never lay 2-1 or more on the outcome of any game.

I have no problem taking heavy favorites, if I feel strongly about them, I parlay them and basically get the play at 1:1. I am not laying 2gs to win 1 dime in baseball, too risky.

A best bet is always better than 20 not so good action bet for sure. If you lose then I would rethink how I chose my best bets.

If I figure a team will win the game more than 2 times out of 3 then it's a good bet.

Tough to take advice from a guy this ignorant:

Referring to the entire world's Indian population:

They would get gold as thieves.
Now before anyone jumps down my throat I am speaking from personal experience. I have had 2 different business dealings with Indian people and both times I got screwed for thousands of dollars. One case is about to go to court for damages.

I have no respect for this race of people and I suggest if you must do business with East Indians...watch your back. I know that is a blanket statement but that is how I feel as of this moment.

Listen asshole...get back on the banana boat and get the fuck out of this country. Nobody wants you here.

When are you sand niggers going to learn?
That is how strongly I feel about it and if that means I get banned for it...so be it.

If a unit=1%, then this play is 10% ( or even 20%, if playing to win 10 units), that's not a play you should often make. With a -200 MLB subset, even more reason not to bet it.

I'd have to go RL with it, or pass, -200 bases (MLB) plays aren't my style, but I guess you do one on occasion... it sure wouldn't be 10 units for me.
