When it comes to sports betting on baseball, experienced gamblers usually do one of two things, when taking a favorite, they either bet the favorite on the money line, or they play the run line. The run line, as the name suggests, provides the bettor with an advantage if they take the underdog or if they take the favorite, a bigger payout, if the favorite wins by more then one run. Today, for your bookie software pleasure, we’ll be looking at how to create a one run line, as it can make the game even more enticing to wager on.

In order to reduce the risk of losing your money if the favorite wins by a run instead of two runs on the run line, you can also make a one run line. To make a one run line, you have to make two separate bets. Firstly, you would bet upon the normal run line, which is one and a half runs. Then, you would also place a wager on the money line, for the favorite to win the game. Meaning to say, if the MLB favorite wins the game by a single run, your wager is a push, since the money line bet, nullifies the run line bet.

When it comes to creating a one run line, there are a few different factors to consider. Firstly, if you are making a favorite one run line, you have to follow the steps above, which require you to risk money on the team as a favorite as well as on the run line. However, an issue to consider is if the favorite is on the road or at home. If the favorite is at home, they may have reduced odds then if they were on the road. This can affect, how much money you get back from your wager.
