Juice and your Bankroll

Juice and your bankroll are not a match made in heaven. The tendencey for gamblers is to assume a slight up tick in winning % is neccesary as you lay increased juice however very few understand exactly what each incremental price point is actually worth.  Since we’re just getting started on the 162 game marathon that is the major league baseball season and with NHL playoffs rapidly approaching, it’s imperative to understand what your winning % must become in order to turn a profit every time you lay above (or below) the traditional -110. Success hinges on knowing the exact implications of each bet and the table below is applicable to all moneyline wagers. Keep in mind the percentages included just create a break even proposition and illustrate why it’s so important to find a reduced juice book whenever possible.
