Labouchere idea for hockey? Would like input on this>>>

[RLM_Tracker]

This idea hit me out of nowhere earlier tonight with the help of some refreshing PBRs at my local watering hole.... it may be worthless, but on paper it appears to have nice potential. The idea:

A team hits a 4 game winning or losing streak. Starting on the 5th game, follow the trend (play winners, fade losers). Ride that trend on labby lines until it stops. When that streak stops, keep that line open for the next one to come around. Play multiple lines if there's more than one team on a streak.

So far this NHL season, it would be quite nice. Here's what we would have so far (have streaks for each team, with the number of numbers on a labby you would be adding with the +1 and the numbers you would be knocking out with -X next to it).

The total on this equals -86.... that's 86 numbers on labby lines knocked out. I may have messed up a number or two, if anyone would like to point that out please do.

35 of the streaks I found went beyond 4 games, 29 stopped at 4. Only draw back I could see is having a line that gets build up a bit long, but with good money management it shouldn't put a strain on the bankroll with any luck at all.

Thoughts anyone?

There's been some prolonged winning and losing streaks this season. The Pens won 12 straight and the Isles lost 14 straight. I imagine that would clean out most people's bankrolls unless they started off betting $5-$10 bucks.

But the point of it is to ride the streaks..... which would = nice bank in this situation

Oh okay. I don't understand the whole Labourchere system, I was thinking more Martingale I guess

I noticed in Baseball last year, teams that lost 2 or more games in a row, usually won
after the 2nd or 3rd loss.

Hockey has been doing almost the same thing, especially teams with winning records.

Start a labby after the 2nd loss on top teams? What ever works for you. GL.
