it seems like the goal scoring have increased and the unders are taking a beating lately. also doesn't help that the books haven't adjusted to totals either.

$$$, was there a period where the system was on a 'slump' last year as well?

Don't really remember, but I do know that the system does take losses and hopefully they will subside for a while.

$$$, sorry if you've posted the answer before,
but what was the final units gained from this system last season?
I found a post on charviks thread last season and you said that at the time it was up 70 units.

If there are 201 series all together this season, and each series loss is distributed throughout the rest of the series....if everything pans out, (barring any late season losses) shouldn't you end up with 201 units for the system?

Yes, the goal is to win 201 units, but I think Charvik stopped his late in the season once teams starting clinching. I may do the same as looking at last season's sheet, there were a lot of losses in March, but in April, they all won, but the monetary units were higher.

Good to know!

Can you tell me what was the final result for last year??
or if there is a link to the spreadsheet, that's even better!

thanks again for the hard work!

Well, the total series was 176 and the overall record was 155-116. The series total was 156-20. It all ended up with the goal of 176 units.

thanks for the replies!

I am wondering how come the series total is 156-20 but the overall only has 155 wins? Should they not be the same amount, as each win would also be counted as a series win?

Maybe a typo? or am i missing something?

Also, do you only play your hockey and baseball systems year round?
And looking at the excellent results, (i guess depending on your unit size) you can generate a nice yearly profit....kinda like a side job?



- also, i might be wrong but, my records on my computer show that there are 6 series losses not 5 .
calgary, buffalo, edmonton, carolina, minny and hawks.
maybe you missed an update?

You are right, I went back over my spreadsheet and it is 156. Also, it is 6 losses, but the units are correct. Thanks. I wish it would be like a side job, but don't have a wiseguy bankroll ;)

no problem dude...glad to help!

What is the record for your 'other plays' ML only?

ps: if you are on pace for 201 units, 20 dollars a unit would yield 4 grand for hockey.
and your mlb chase is good for 300 units, but i would lower the unit size for that because of more plays and the laying the juice....
and at 10 bucks a unit, thats 3 grand ....total for 1 year: $7000.00.
That's more than my part-time job paid when i was still in school. lol

LOL!!! yeah, even if your units were $1, then it would still be nice. Anyway, the ML only plays are 5-4 with tonight pending. As you can see, it is a chase, but with criteria. Last year, the overall chase was 29-0. This year so far it is 5-0 with 1 pending.
 
hahaha i see why you want that toronto win ... well if it means you winning, i will take a loss if it has to go over!

good luck tonight ... :cheers:

$$$, i keep forgetting to ask...
i know the system record at 14.65 units is what you have gained right?
but how do you calculate the running total?
does that include the current games that are pending??

Hope the canucks can pull through tonight, i head on the radio that Salo is back in the lineup, so that should improve their already steady defence.
Last year, i think that the total would've been 5.5 ...at least.
But seeing how the blues have been an under machine, i can see why its at 5.

$$$$, can you tell me what was the maximum single wager for this system last year??

sorry for picking your brain about the system so much in this thread, but i am trying to soak in as much info and detail to get a better feel of this system....as this is the first time i've followed a system so religiously. lol

13.72 Units was the maximum risk per game, that lost, totalling almost 22 unit loss for that series.

No problem for the questions. I think that the more that people know, the better choices they can make themselves.

Thanks! i totally agree.
nothing interests me more than a working system! lol

So all together, the worst series was 22 units as well?
Would this mean that after distributing losses, you were betting to win 3 untis instead of 1. 7 (currently) ?

Also, did this loss occur late in the season?

if so, i think that is pretty good to only be risking 3 units from 1 after spreading out all the losses.
 
Sorry, its getting late...maybe i should rephrase the question:
By the end of the year, after distributing the 16 losses, how much were you betting to Win??

There was 7 series losses in the month of March and the last one finished on March 25th. After that, there were 8 series to make up those losses.
 
Oh!
so you must've been betting a fair chunk to make up those 7 losses with only 8 series left?
The 7 losses in march would've increased your 'to win' wager by a bit.
What was the 'to win' amount at the start of march?

$$$, do you still have the spreadsheet from last year that i could take a look at?

Damn, the flames under just lost.

Sorry, no spreadsheet, just data. It was 4.5 Units to win though.

Thanks for the info $$$ .

How come after the 22 unit loss, (and the other 6 losses for the month), after being redistributed, you are only betting to win 4.5 units when there is only 8 series left to make up the losses?
i was under the impression that you would have to risk more. Maybe is it cuz you cap your losses at 3 games?

From what i've read, I'm guessing at the start of march, the record was 126-13 ??
So if each loss is worth no more than 22 units but probably 10 or more, does that mean that there is a time when the system record is in the negatives in march?
 
Okay, I had messed up with some of my units on my "other plays", which ended up lowering my overall units, but it didn't affect any of my plays pending, so if you played them for what was listed, then you made more money than me.

Again, sorry, but everything is correct now.

Remember, some of the losses included ties, which reduced the losses. Also, there was positive money at the end of all months except March.
 
Good point!

$$$, do you have any methods to weather the march losses?
or just stick with it?
maybe reducing unit sizes in march? ending early...? etc..

It depends on my unit's won size, I mean 50 units is great also. We will see how it goes. I am hoping that the whole debauchle in the middle of November is over. I can take a loss or two gradually, but that was ridiculous. Of course, recently, the Stars are making me mad, but if it loses, it will only be a small one with two Push's already.
 
yeah, i guess even if dallas loses the next one, its not that bad as it is only a 1 unit loss.
It feels like the unders are coming around lately, or at least it feels like it.

i guess we will wait until march...but any reasons to why that is?
teams not trying after clinching a playoff spot or out of the playoff race??

thanks for going back and looking at the numbers for me !

I am trying to use a good unit size that can sustain the losses to build up a decent bankroll for baseball.

Like you said, i don't mind the losses if it is spread out and not all clustered together at once. ..ie ) 5+ losses in a month...thats difficult to recover from.
