    Its essentially a 3 game chase on the teams listed in this thread. Although we're not technically chasing bc we're doing labby lines, so its safer than chasing.

    @JW: why did you a montreal HOME UNDER to the mix. I have looked at the results if you would play ONLY montreal HOME UNDER. The conclusion is that you would have lost (using a simple labby) if you would only play this one.

    Away under on the other hand is very strong. What is your reasoning too include montreal HOME to this?

    if one of the teams loses 3 straight do u start a new labby line? say u went:

    [a,b,c]10-10-10-[a]10-[b]20-[c]30

    and lost all 3 bets do u start a new labby line?

    and if u won on the 3rd it would look like this:?

    x-10-10-10-20-x take off the ends? (30,10)......then the next game for the "said team" would be a $30 bet (20,10)? and so on till the "labby" lines complete then start a new one?

    sry i read the whole thread (not the brightest) im new to the whole concept but it looks very interesting

    thanks for the help!

    Bo$$

    and i googled "labby" didnt really find anything that i really understood the link posted on page 2 or 3? was a good explanation....anyone have any other links for labbys?

    also when do u consider "said team" a trend to follow? just wondering cause MLB is right around the corner would i want to follow each team for the 1st month maybe 2?

    the labby part looks correct, though youll be playing more than just one team on a line. as for the last part of your post about MLB, not sure what youre getting at.

    Someone posted their 2 line labby earlier in this thread. I switched to this form.

    100 100 100 100
    100 100 100 100

    Atlanta Hawks Over lost a few night ago so my labby changed to...

    100 100 100 100
    155 155 155 155

    Hawks Over won last night (barely). I am still scratching my head because with 1:36 left in the game the total was at 192. I went to bed calling it a loss. I woke-up and saw the final score on the morning financial news and could not believe I won.

    Updated Lab:
    100 100 100 100
    155 155 155 155

    Current profit would be -220 +310 for +90. If the losses become too much then I would drop to a 3rd line but for now 2 is the plan.

    Understanding a labby is difficult at first but gets easy if you get the hang of it. I just use simple labby, meaning one laby for one team.

    I do it like this u slice your bet in 4 parts

    for example 50-50-50-50

    For bet A you take the two outside numbers then if you have odds -110 you bet to win 100 (two outside numbers) with odds -110 you have to bet 110

    If you lose this bet your next line of the labby looks like: 50-50-50-50-110
    If you win this bet your next line of the labby looks like: 50-50 if you win your next bet. your labby is cleared and you can start over again with the same amount of play your pofits and increase your betsize

    Now for bet B having, lost your A bet, you have your line 50-50-50-50-110. Again you take the two outside numbers 50+110 now you bet to WIN 160 with odds -110, which means you bet 176.

    If you lose this bet your next line looks like: 50-50-50-50-110-176
    If you win this bet your next line looks like: 50-50-50-110

    For bet C same principle you can go as far as you want in this topic we go up to bet C and start over again after this one

    Detroit came up just short. I was hoping they'd make it 3-2 then Dallas would score an empty netter, but no such luck.

    While I am starting to pick up this system I dont get how Detroit Home overs stay in the system when two of their last nine home games have gone OVER. At what point does that get taken out?

    I like Long Term's idea for a 4# labby. For a loss, add up the loss plus your line. Divide
    by 4, that is your new line. Instead of adding to your line and making it longer and
    harder to clear, you are only 2 wins from clearing that line.

    50-50-50-50-110 (loss) New line would be, 77.5-77.5-77.5-77.5.

    I start small, my line is 2.5-2.5-2.5-2.5. My SBP line is now 14.28 x 4

    Its still not a loss if they win the 3rd game remember this is a 3 game chase. Detroit lost on both A and B bets but unless they lose the C bet it is not a loss

    you just have to keep an eye on it. You can drop them when you think they are not going to make any money

    hopefully the public sees washington as a high scoring team tonight and dump on the over. maybe the line will improve from -145.

    why does the bet "under 5 and 5.5" have better odds? if the final total is 5 do you get half your bet back or something, a win for under 5.5 but a push at 5?

    no you don't get half your bet back, it is a push.

    and don't you mean better juice? "under 5 and 5.5" are different odds.

    so im assuming the bet "under 5 +116" will result in a loss if the total is 5. the only way to push on a total of 5 is if i bet "under 5 and 5.5"

    I bet Sharks/Penguins UNDER 5 on Pinnacle earlier this week and it resulted in a Push. Got my bet back like the game never happened. I'm not sure what happens if you bet the UNDER 5 & 5.5; it might be the half gain you were talking about in your initial post. Hopefully someone will clear this up

    Your post is very confusing. What ill say is a line of UNDER 5 will usually have + odds as opposed to a line of UNDER 5.5 which will usually be between -105 to -145. So yes, the payout is better with a UNDER 5 bet, but those games result in more pushes.

    IF THE GAME TOTAL ENDS UP BEING 5:

    and you had played under 5, then it is a push. (your original bet is returned)

    if ya had played under 5.5, then it is a win.

    right right i understand the totals with regards to half points and everything. pinnacle has a separate total bets in a drop down menu
    under 5 +114
    under 5.5 -146
    under 5 and 5.5 -117. this is the bet im having a brain fart on. if the total is 4 or lower i win, if the total is 5, im guessing i push? id rather take the push than lose the -146 juice

    if you bet under 5, and the game ends with 5 its a push. If you bet under 5/5.5 and the game ends at 5, it will be a half push/half loss... you should get half of your stake back

    Is that really how it works? Seems pointless to ever bet the 5/5.5 line then. Am i missing something?
