spreadsheet that figures it out for you if you want to download it. This sheet just tells you how much to be on the -1.5 and ML and does not give you the -1 line like Illini's formula.
Simply insert the ML in the green box next to the ML Line box, the -1.5 line in the green box next to the -1.5 Line cell and the amount that you would like to win in the total to win box and the last two cells will tell you what to bet on both the ML and -1.5 line.

Dodgers are -120 ML and +135 -1.5 today
In cell B3 input the money line (-120)
In cell B5 input the -1.5 line (+135)
If you want to risk $200, input $200 in cell B12
If you want to win $200, input $200 in cell B8
To risk $200 you would bet $109.09 on the ML (pays $91.91) and $91.91 on the -1.5. Thus, if the Dodgers win by 1 you win the ML bet for +91.91 and lose the -1.5 bet for -$91.91, which means you are net $0, or what you would be with a -1 line.
