The Yankees vs. Cardinals and Padres vs. Dodgers on Saturday night fit a historically profitable betting system developed by Action Network that reports a return on investment (ROI) of 7%.
These games fit an algorithm that targets a wager that has returned 7% on investment and has won 55% of the time since 2005. The wager is always on the total and only lights up under certain parameters.
The algorithm incorporates public tracking data proprietary to Action Network.
Statistical significance is ensured by using a massive data set.
This algorithm has encompassed more than 2,500 MLB games since 2005 and has gone 1381-1145-118 (55%) over that timeframe.
For reference, bettors must win about 52.4% of the time over the extreme long run in order to make a profit on wagers around -110.
If you had bet $100 on each game that has fit this particular betting algorithm, you'd be up about $19,000 since the Bush administration — that's roughly $1,150 per year.
