Three games on Wednesday 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 2,000 MLB games since 2005 and has gone 1072-867-98 (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 $13,500 since the Bush administration – that's roughly $815 per year.
The games on Tuesday include Twins vs. Yankees, Blue Jays vs. Orioles and Nationals vs. Cardinals.
