on3's NHL home chase 55-3 in 2010, 94-1 in 2009

[Wallco99]

come on........baseball and hockey are moneyline bets.....talk about clogging up a thread..

Yes, you are right. Those who don't even get the basics of sports wagering should not risk $1 of their money. This is a money line chase system. If you don't understand money lines or chase systems, you are in real trouble betting on sports.

[Mcducky]

Gofightingirish, google labby system. There should be some articles that explain this type of chase system.

This shit ain't rocket science! If you don't understand, just bet what he tells u to.

[klrqn]

on Tampa!

[MMASpeculator]

Lots of confirmation TB tonight. Let's do it!

[bfritsc3]

so if i risked 40 to win 25 and tampa loses tonight, what is the next bet for me?
would my labby line look like this

10 - 10 - 10 - 40. So my next bet should be risking 50 to win 30 or whatever the money line will be then?

[spankmythighs]

Holy shit, just place a bet to win X amount of dollars. If you lose X, bet Y to recover X + (10-25%). If Y loses, then bet Z to recover X + Y + (10-25%). This is what I do. Your odds grow and your line usually drops as you go into game 2 and 3.

1.you said "to win 25" whereas on your line you only have 10's. your bet should have been, risk 32(give or take, depending on your line)to win 20.
2.your second question, risk 50 to win 30, is also wrong.
3.use the wonderful search bar at the top right, search "labourchere".

to many threads on this site get killed with labby questions when its really stupidly simple, people overthink it.

Hi everyone,

I google labby lines I think I got it now...but if yesterdays system play was $32 to win $20 shouldn't the new labby line be:
10-10-10-32

instead of 10-10-10-26???

What am I getting wrong?

thx for all the help

thx for all the help

He split it over 2 lines, 16 +10= 26 (Twice)

[FeeltheCool]

thx for the explanation Wallco99.

Is it wrong to do in this way:

10-10-10-10-16
10-10-10-10-16

Non-system play: I'm also laying some action on the VAN PL today

big RLM on calgary. lines gone up about 15 cents despite only having 40% of the public on them.

[sfi50]

thanks for that info fellow okie i suppose on calgary line, think money on them?

[Mcducky]

I have a quick question i would like someone to please answer. I started my labby line yesterday so my first series was a loss (0-1). I have much lower units to measure so my line is a 1.75 1.75 1.75 1.75, so follow me for a bit please. Yesterday i lost 1 unit. I evenly distributed amongst my 3 lines, I understand that part. We wagered -$32 yesterday, we are only trying to recoup $22 on this round of betting correct? I'm assuming the remaining $10, will be factored into the next round of bets, tomorrow or whenever? That is my main question, I see you distributed the whole $32 in the line, but we are only attempting to recoup $22, and chase the rest later correct?

My intent is not to clog the thread, but I am tailing and while I am completely trusting you, I want to make sure I am able to adjust to my weird unit sizing, and the fact that i started late. If someone could help, I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you

[keemosabi]

Anyone thinking of taking Calgary -0.5 to reduce some of that juice?

[XFranchise]

I also have a question on the second game bet...
Boston lost the first game. My unit was $10. I Placed $19 to win ten. So my game 2 of this series what would the bet be that I place "to win" as I did in game A?

[Mcducky]

I believe your next bet would be $29

[XFranchise]

So if game B losses you game C bet would to lay around 48$? Something seems off

[knugen]

If u bet to win on bet a, then u play to win on B and C also

[XFranchise]

So if you bet to win on each play of a, b and c if the previous bet was a loss, at bet C you are laying somewhere around 5 units to cover your a&b bet and win 1 unit on c? So if all works out on C you win 1 unit but if you lose the "series" your down 5 units?

Ah, it took me a while to figure this out, but the rows do not represent games A, B and C respectively? So if we were starting with a clean slate of

10 - 10 - 10 -10
10 - 10 - 10 -10
10 - 10 - 10 -10

and we were betting 3 games, the spaces represented are:

10 (Game A) - 10 (Game B) - 10 (Game B) -10 (Game A)
10 (Game C)- 10 - 10 -10 (Game C)
10 - 10 - 10 -10

Do I have that correct?

After googling labby system, it says you're supposed to add your loss at the END of the line. So when we lost the TB game, why didn't it become the following?:

10-10-10-10-22
10-10-10-10
10-10-10-10

Finally, after 2 more losses (BOS, VAN) and a win (CAL), what's it look like now?

You are correct, in that the original design of labby would dictate that you add the 'loss' value to the end of the line, but there are many ways to run a labby system.

Here is a good reference: http://platinumsportsinvesting.com/labourchere.aspx. If you read through that, you'll see different variations, with the last one being closest to what on3 is using.

You can do it however you want, with the key being that you spread your losses over multiple bets, instead of doubling up like a typical chase.

How you spread it out is up to you, what your bankroll can support, and how quickly you want to win back the 'loss' money.

Cheers

Thanks, Commish, that was helpful.

So doesn't it make sense to spread it out more and and put some of our losses into the third line? Something like...

10-x-x-35
10-22-22-35
20-20-20-20

If your bankroll doesn't support larger numbers, than yes. If you can manage it, though, you'll clear the lines quicker and recoup any losses faster if you stick to one or two lines. All a matter of preference, really.

I, myself, am using $100 units for this, so it does get fairly high after a few losses. I've been using all three lines.

Mine look like this:

50-x-x-198.50
50-50-133-198.50
50-50-133-166
