    MLB 2nd Half Strategy - +318u last 3 years
    2012 - +90
    2013 - +111
    2014 - +117


    Whoever you're following right now - stop! Unless they're making you 100 units every 3 months, there's just no reason to even look back - this is the only thread you need. It is a living, breathing cash cow - so make sure you subscribe so you don't miss any money!

    Now, if you're wondering who I am and why I'm so confident - let's just say I've been doing this for over 20 years and this is the greatest system I've ever seen. The light bulb went off about 10 days ago right before I left for my honeymoon. We got back on Weds night and I immediately began running numbers.

    Three seasons is all I've had time to get through so far, but I'll continue testing tomorrow. I have no doubts it will be more of the same. All three seasons were virtually identical in terms of final results.

    I simply cannot stress enough the fact that I've been doing this for more than 20 years - point being, I know the difference between a diamond and cubic zirconia. And this is a fu**in diamond!

    So if you're here to hate you better hate now, because the money starts rolling in today!

    For those who are with me, here's how it works:


    If you're familiar with chase systems, that's what this is, 3 game chases (although I like to think of it as making small investments). Each chase is called a series. Each series consists of 3 games. The first game is the A bet. The second game is the B bet. The third game is the C bet. If we lose the 3rd game, the series is over.

    As we chase games, we're also chasing our money. So when we lose an A bet, you need to bet enough on the B bet to win back your losses from the A bet, plus whatever you were trying to win with the A bet. When we lose a B bet, you need to bet enough on the C bet to win back your losses from the A and B bets, plus whatever you were trying to win with the A bet.

    In 2014, there were 5 C bet losses. In 2013, there were 6 C bet losses. And in 2012, again there were 5 C bet losses. The C bet losses average out to about 18 units per loss (17.69 to be exact). The highest C bet loss cost 23.5 units and came in 2012. The lowest C bet loss cost 14 units and came in 2014.

    Over the last 3 years there have been a total of 612 series, which averages out to 204 series each season. In 2014, there were 207 series - 202 wins, 5 losses. In 2013, there were 220 series - 214 wins, 6 losses. In 2012, there were 185 series - 180 wins, 5 losses.

    So far this year has had 8 series - 7 wins, 1 loss. The loss actually just came tonight on St Louis. It cost 14.5 units. So as of this writing, we are down 7.5 units. Which means there's a shit ton of money to be made!

    Anyway, I'm beat and going to bed. I doubt I covered everything so questions are welcome. There are 4 new series starting tomorrow. First game is at 215 EST. I'll try to post by noon. If you're serious about making money, you better be here!

              Ok, so as I was saying there's already been a loss this season which took place last night. So the current season's numbers are:

              7-1 = -7.5 units (lost 14.5 on StL)
              6 - A wins (86%)
              1 - B win (50%)
              0 - C wins (0%)


              Today, there are 4 A bets. They are:

              1. St Louis - currently -190, play Money Line (215 est)
              2. KC -
              currently -158, play Money Line (715 est)
              3. LAD -
              currently -165, play Money Line (715 est)
              4. Arizona -
              currently -164, play Money Line (1010 est)


              I've used Covers.com for all of the data testing so I'll continue to use them for record keeping.

              *Important note - all teams who are a -131 favorite or better are to be played on the money line. If our team is -130 or lower, play the run line. You will no doubt need to have access to an alternate run line for some future plays.

              Good luck today!

                  HMMMMM we'll see, best approach, wait till he loses an A game and bet B & C, it's only a 2 game chase, so if he is bluffing, your going to be ok,

                    Whenever I see a system that uses a 3 game chase, I first want to see if you show a profit over an extended period of time. You do indeed show that. When you have a profit, that means somewhere during your chase you must hit at a higher rate than even.

                    Your average odds per play is -165. This is according to your average series loss of 17.69.

                    Because you hit at a higher rate than even - somewhere, you will profit flat betting during that somewhere. Looking at your data, you easily, maybe suspiciously, profit every step along the way:

                    A bets 408 wins 204 losses = flat bet profit: 71.4 units
                    B bets 144 wins 60 losses = flat bet profit 45 units
                    C bets 44 wins 16 losses = flat bet profit 17.60 units
                    ALL bets 596 wins 280 losses = flat bet profit 134 units

                    Now you will profit any ol' way you wanna bet it. It all depends on your unit size.

                    If you 3 game chase to win 2% of your total bankroll, you would increase your bankroll 636 percent during these 3 years (318*2)

                    If you flat bet to win 8% of your total bankroll, you would increase your bankroll 1072 percent during these 3 years (134*8)

                    Flat betting seems easier, safer, and more profitable. Chase systems were invented when you don't have an edge. It seems you have an edge here and a BIG one. Just use flat betting or a Kelly method.

                      You would be up 2.05 units coming into tonight flat betting and those units would be at 8%. Instead you are down 7+ units at ?%

                        Can you tell us the parameters behind this chase? I know ppl who can backtest it even further, then the past 3 years.

                          How can I argue with less risk and more profit? After all, that's the name of the game!

                          Awesome post, Keel - I read it last night but wanted to sleep on it before responding.

                          1072 percent to 636 isn't even close - but in reality, it would be a much bigger disparity if you continue adjusting percentages as your bankroll grows.

                          I in no way shape or form think that I know everything - so I'm always completely open to new ideas...and this one makes too much sense to ignore.

                          As of today, I'm flat betting - and will adjust the record keeping accordingly.

                          Thanks again for sharing!

                            No lol. Be patient brother. Finishing 2011 this morning and hopefully 2010.

                              Yes you are right. Readjust the 8% or whatever you choose daily. When you have a losing day you risk less and when you have a winning day you risk more. You would compounding the profits for a greater increase.

                              It would actually be mind-boggling the amount you could win if you start with $1000 @ 8% unit size.

                                    list both, 1 as flat betting, 1 as a system bet, keep track of both, see which one makes more money.

                                      We were both off.
                                      Was actually 10-5 - now 12-7.
                                      Got 8 hours of sleep last night so should be a little sharper today.

                                              Don't forget that the flat betting will be at a higher unit size than the chase unit. I say you could go as high as 8% and still be safe. This is all based on his past data anyway.

                                                  Yea they closed at -129 on Covers.com - anything under -130 is a Run Line play. I had them at -220 on sportsbetting.com. If you didn't take them at +1.5 you lucked out.

                                                  I'll try to wait as long as I can to post plays so we're at least in the ballpark with the closing lines - but you guys are definitely going to have to do some monitoring of your own. I normally don't place my bets until right before the first pitch.

                                                          So how do you determine series chases?
                                                          Not to be rude but to change your system from a chase to flat betting just because its profitable after a back test seems a bit sketchy. If your A games start to tank and are only hitting 50% at -165 are you going to say "Chase the series, its more profitable"

                                                          Im just sayin

                                                              Not to be rude but to change your system from a chase to flat betting just because its profitable after a back test seems a bit sketchy. If your A games start to tank and are only hitting 50% at -165 are you going to say "Chase the series, its more profitable"

                                                              Im just sayin
                                                              How is it sketchy? It's more profit with less risk!

                                                              And you can play whichever way you choose. I'm posting results for both.

                                                                use a books closing line, it's easier for all of us to have the same play, like going by pinnacle's or 5dime's line. Just my 2 cents, doesn't matter today as KC was postponed.

                                                                    Im just sayin

                                                                    If it starts to tank, thank god you would be flat betting.
