February 23, 200818 yr ^ There is another part to it but I don't like it that much. Ok go figure out who to play tonight if you think its that easy. If it was easy we would all be rich. Just saying this isn't much of a system. I just went to a website and randomly selected 6 or 7 teams schedules and checked them out using that formula. Out of 14 road trips, you would have won on the first game 8 times, but you would have needed the 3rd game three times and the 4th game once. It's just not much of a system because it doesn't take any other factors into account. You'd be just as well off by saying, "Go to a blackjack table, use the "rules" about when to hit and when to stay, bet $200, if you win, quit, if you lose, double it and play again, repeat until you're up $200." Or for basketball purposes, I'd rather them say, find a team with a 3 game ATS win streak and THEN use this system because they can't win them all. At least it would be taking some kind of streak into account. All in all, anything that says, "If you lose, bet again but double it," is not a system.
February 23, 200818 yr I have decided that I'm doing my own handicapping from now on and no longer listening to everyone's 20*, 100*, and GOY plays!:thumb: Good move. If I'm going to lose my money, it's going to be because of me, not relying on someone else's picks.

It has not lost. Not once.:sssh:
February 23, 200818 yr Utah State was nice last night. What do you guys like today? So many games to choose from on a Saturday.
February 23, 200818 yr This system is like +70 units this season. It has not lost. Not once.:sssh: Of course it hasn't lost, you keep betting until you win. You won't lose using and of the other "systems" that I mentioned either but you better have a lot of money. And quite honestly, if you have that much money to mess with, you could come up with something better than this. Like I said, just in the 14 examples I looked at, a $100 player would have needed to bet $400 on a game THREE times and $800 on a game ONCE. Not many $100 players are going to be comfortable doing that. That's why they're $100 players.

Its still hard to argue with a system that never loses.
February 23, 200818 yr I think HT said way back when that you had to have a good bankroll to play this system. Its still hard to argue with a system that never loses. No, it's not really. Yes, it may be up 70 units because there have been 70 road series of 4+ games, I guess. But what is it's actual record against the spread in ALL game that you had to bet. I'm guessing it's not very good. BTW, let's say you up $7000. One 0-4 road trip by a team costs you $1650. One 0-5 road trip costs you $3410. And it WILL happen eventually. You're going to risk blowing all your season profits on that sixth game? Heck, you're a $100 player and you're going to put $3200 on ONE game? Again, if your "system" is take what you lost, double it, and keep betting, then it's not a system.

Thats not true at all A LOT of system have to philosophy tied into it some how.First of all not that many road trips are that long and I have only seen it go to 5 games once. After a 3rd game loss I take the loss and move on but thats just me. Who cares if you lose $3200 on one game if it has put you up $7,000 so far. I will surely take a $3,800 profit. I will personally take the results it has give me.

The system is 70-0, which means it has NEVER went past 4 games.
February 23, 200818 yr Author I started the day off with Cincy +14, but they're not looking too solid. I will probably bet on the Cats at 2:00. There is alot of money that can be made betting against the OVC today. They always struggle with more athletic conferences. I think MSU will not cover today, but I can't bring myself to bet against my teams.
February 23, 200818 yr That +217 Boston/Phoenix bet didn't go very good for me... I'm taking the day off.
February 23, 200818 yr Author That +217 Boston/Phoenix bet didn't go very good for me... I'm taking the day off. Today is a great day to make your money back. There are alot of good plays on the board today. :thumb:
February 23, 200818 yr Author 1-1 so far for me today. Cincy decided to not show up today, but I won with UK. I'm looking for one more play tonight.
