Here NBA V2.0

Depends what lines you were able to get.  That is always the contraversy.  Some people win these tight games, some people fall short.  There have been about 4 or 5 of these situations this year.

Each of them has won.  What makes it tough is if Detroit loses C, some including JM can consider Det series a win because they bought 3 points.  The undefeated record will still be intact.

Now your next question is going to be what are the results from past years?

When jumping into a forum 1  1/2 months in, it is suggested to READ the whole forum from the beginning.  You will have alot of your questions answered.

What is the best thing somebody can do with this system:

A:

Don't buy points, use labouchere, take a few losses, don't risk very HUGE bets to earn only 1 unit

B:

Buy points, use labouchere, take maybe 2 losses, risk VERY VERY huge bets to win only 1 unit

So you suggest don't buying any points and take the losses as they come?

And how do you use the labouchere moneymanagment

When you lose a bet you spread it over 2 lines or over all 3 ?

I agree with Joe Money.

Going by information from previous posts it was noted - 13 losses each of the past 2 years if you didn't buy the 3 points.  I am curious to know how this method ends up being profitable at season's end.  

I am well aware using the Lab MM will spread out the losses and try to recover as the season progresses.  That seems fine for the early part of the season as there are many games and time is on your side.

2nd half of season losses will become "more stressful" because you will start running out of tme to recoup.

I am not trying to bash or criticize just wondering because I have never used that approach.

Best of luck to all whatever way you choose.

The bottom line is making the most $$$$ possible..

JM v1 email -

Congrats on another sweet night of bets! Detroit narrowly escaped,
while Utah easily dismantled their opponent!

I do want to note to you that for the Detroit game, the spread
varied anywhere from +4 to +5.5. With the 3-point purchase, you
could have won, pushed, or lost on your wager. In today's game, the
later during the day that you made your bet, the likelier it was
for you to grab the spread at +8.5 after buying 3 points. If you
made your bet earlier during the day, you would have either lost or
pushed on your bet if you caught the spread at +8 or below after
buying the points. The bet, however, was a narrow win under the
+5.5 closing line and this series is considered closed. There is an
optional bet for Detroit on 8/16 when they play against Oklahoma in
their 3rd game if you wish to take advantage of that wager. Let me
tell you: it definitely looks like a good bet to make! :)

I have to admit the system has been money, But I hat when this type of situation occurs.  No matter what happens JM is in a no lose situation.  If the Det C wins then he will gloat about a double win for 1 series chase.  If Det C loses, he has already claimed victory and its on the the next series and his season record remains unblemished.

Its weird but I would feel more confident if Det B wager lost by 10..

you say thats why you don't like buying points but by buying the points there hasn't been any losses this year.

by just wagering the regular line you must have at least 3 or 4 series losses already.  How are you getting around this?

What is your net units won this year using this method?

Buying points v1 +2400       v2 +800          100 unit base

pending Det C

Just throwing this out there because I would like to see if doing what you are doing is better.  I know its less risky.

Thanks

I am only allowed to buy 2 points at -150.

Perfectly written! There is nothing wrong with a series loss.

So the thoughts are spread...

One finds it very good to take some losses but with less juice

the other wants to buy 3 points , has very very big wagers and has only 1 or 2 losses...

Still confusion what's the best... :p

So, puppet, you takin the pisssedons C game?

I bought 3 points abd still lost the B.

I'm thinkin about just betting to win my base unit. That way, if it loses, no bid deal to lose the series, and there is still lots of time to win back the losses and beyond. If it wins, cool, we get back some loss.

The best method is the one you are most comfortable with.

I don't like betting at -240 odds. So i don't. I didn't buy points last year and the system treated me very good. To be honest it is the only time i've ever been successful during a season of a given sport. If a team loses that would have won if i bought the points then i stop the series and count it as a loss.... Not a big deal. Just use labrochere. Last year i had 6or7 straight A losses followed by 6or7 straight A wins and it only took about 2or3 wins to get back where i was before the losing streak.

If you decide to buy points then you will win a few more series. But you have to risk more. Which means you need larger bank for when the losing streak comes.

Good Luck

I am sticking with it and playing the Pistons C.

I don't have the luxury of waiting until gametime like JM and then getting the best lines however it goes.  I have to go to work and don't have computer access there.

I am locked in at +5 +2 = +7

I have cut down on the total wager to 1/2 of what I should wager according to the system because technically it could have already won.

I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Best of Luck to all.
