So, if you&rsquo;re betting on heavy favorites, you&rsquo;re going to have to win&nbsp;<em>a lot&nbsp;<\/em>in order to break even. Here&rsquo;s how it works.<\/p>\n<p>The chart below shows what your expected win-rate needs to be to break even at various prices.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Price<\/th>\n<th>Expected Win Rate %<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>-160<\/td>\n<td>61.53<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>-150<\/td>\n<td>60.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>-140<\/td>\n<td>58.33<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>-130<\/td>\n<td>56.52<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>-120<\/td>\n<td>54.54<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>-110<\/td>\n<td>52.38<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>+100<\/td>\n<td>50.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>+120<\/td>\n<td>45.45<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>+130<\/td>\n<td>43.47<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>+140<\/td>\n<td>41.66<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>The following is an even more simple way to look at it: if you make twenty bets and win ten, you are a 50% bettor. This means you&rsquo;re losing, on net.<\/p>\n<p>If you turned one loser into a winner and sat at 11-9, you&rsquo;d be a 55% bettor and, thus, profitable.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting Underdogs in MLB Moneyline Betting and Making a Profit<\/h3>\n<p>However, in baseball, it is entirely possible to win 50% or less and make money.

In reality, betting $100 on the Blue Jays in all six games would have landed us a $95 profit; they were the underdog in five out of six, including all three wins.<\/p>\n<p>Since the biggest risk on any one game would have been $100, our ROI, return on investment, was roughly 15%.

Yes, the Cubs won all three, but the return on investment wasn&rsquo;t great.<\/p>\n<p>The Cubs then lost their next three to the Yankees, despite being favored in each one. So, all in all, they went exactly .500 over the course of those six games, just like the Blue Jays.<\/p>\n<div id=\"bet-promo-69fd7c24d7c90\" class=\"not-prose bet-shortcodes bet-promo\"><div class=\"wrapper\"><div class=\"promotion-left\"><div class=\"promo-logo\"><div class=\"logo-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Promo Logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/app\/uploads\/media\/3\/icon-draftkings-1.png\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"promo-sb-content\"><span class=\"promo-sb-name\"><b>DRAFTKINGS<br>SPORTSBOOK<\/b><\/span><div class=\"offer-container\"><input type=\"radio\" id=\"tab1-69fd7c24d7c90\" name=\"tab-69fd7c24d7c90\" checked=\"checked\"><label id=\"label-tab1-69fd7c24d7c90\" for=\"tab1-69fd7c24d7c90\"><div>Offer<\/div><\/label><input type=\"radio\" id=\"tab2-69fd7c24d7c90\" name=\"tab-69fd7c24d7c90\"><label id=\"label-tab2-69fd7c24d7c90\" for=\"tab2-69fd7c24d7c90\"><div>T&Cs<\/div><\/label><div class=\"content-container\"><div class=\"content\" id=\"c1-69fd7c24d7c90\">Bet $5 & Get $100 in Bonus Bets Instantly!\r\n<br><br><\/div><div class=\"content\" id=\"c2-69fd7c24d7c90\"><small><small><small>\r\nGAMBLING PROBLEM?
