The experienced sport betting enthusiasts know that a baseball doubleheader presents a unique opportunity to use a betting system called a chase. It is a way to help you make a profit betting on baseball, but there is also risk involved. As with any betting system, you could lose all of your money. But if you use a chase, then you can use the price per head bookie odds to your advantage.

Fewer than five percent of the games played in any given MLB season are doubleheaders. But of those doubleheaders that are played, 48 percent are sweeps and nearly 50 percent of those sweeps are by the home team. In baseball, the home team is generally favored to win. In a doubleheader, the home team usually wins at least one game. With a chase, you can cash in on those odds and realize a profit when betting on MLB doubleheaders.

Let’s say that the Toronto Blue Jays are hosting a doubleheader with the Oakland A’s. You bet $10 on the Blue Jays to win the first game. If the Jays win, then you are done and you have won your bet. You do not bet on the second game. But if the Jays lose the first game, then you would bet $20 on the second game. The odds are in your favor that the Jays will win that second game and you will recover your loses from the first game and then some.
