Since its been brought up a few times about betting chalk verses dog betting. I thought I would track what betting dogs blindly would turn out. So starting today I will keep track of each dog for 1 unit, and see where we end up at the end of the regular season.

Just as a warning. I will not be betting each game posted here, so just be advised. I do not recommend doing this, just something we can play with. Maybe something we can work off of for the following seasons.

I will be using the overnight lines posted by Pinnacle at the time of me posting the games for each day.

What a day to start this. 2 double headers, and a large slate of games. Lets see if the doggies get crushed today.

Onlooker, I hope you keep up with this. I'm interested in seeing how this turns out as I am a vast majority underdog bettor.

[onlòóker]

I will post the pick for the Giants/Mets game once it pops up at Pinnacle. Yesterday started off good for the pups, but ended bad.

Hey jbbull. I will try to update this every night. If it is not done each night, the following day it will be. More and likely each night.

The dogs took care of business yesterday, going 10-5.
I will get the dog posted from the Cubs/Astros game as soon as I see Pinnacle post it.

[bigboydan]

it's still early in this one, but it's looking like betting the dogs are cashing in.

YTD: 31-28 +13.70

[adriano]

What about dogs covering the alternate runline, i happened to notice that on 6th june the dogs won 8 of the 15 games and in 7 of them by more than one run.
maybe i shouldn't have posted that

Not a good day for the dogs yesterday. They got crushed.
Still ahead on the YTD, so we will see what happens to that today.

[DrSlamm]

not nessecarily true steve.

if the public forces the bookies to charge a price steeper than the "fair price" on all favorites .. theoretically blindly betting underdogs could be a viable strategy

[BigD]

The only problem that I see is you have to bet every dog on the board to turn a profit

[onlòóker]

Sorry its so late today, but I fell asleep last night and for some reason thought I had did this already.

Yesterday was a even day for both sides. But a very small profit for the pups.

thanks for the update

[onlòóker]

It was a even day pretty much, with the dogs getting one more win. But that produces more units.
I will post the dog from the Dodgers/Rockies game once posted at Pinnacle.

Yesterday the chalk came out on top in the record part of the day, but the dogs cash in on the units part. Thats what we want right?

I will post the dog of the Rangers/Red Sox game in the morning before gametime.

Very nice day for the dogs yesterday. Hitting a 10-6 record, with a very nice profit for the day.

Up almost 20 units, awesome.

[onlòóker]

The chalk and dogs split yesterday, but the pups pulled another profitable day.

Large board today. Could it spell trouble for the dogs? We will see.

[bigboydan]

Yep, it will be interesting to see how the months after the break turn out.

looker, you try the same experiment with reverse runlines. Now that would be interesting.

[onlòóker]

The dogs finally fall again, but not to bad. Maybe we will see the dogs cash in a profit today.

After the all-star break? I could probably do that.

I know I did decent betting the RL of teams fighting for playoff spots, the last few weeks of the season last year.
