    Fri, Dec 26 3Q plays - take 1H loser...experiment

    Okay, African Joint Roller or whatever his nickname is told me about this play. Whoever is losing after the 1H, take them in the 3Q. I ran some stats on this and if that team loses the 3Q then take them in the 4Q.

    I'll track this if I am around later. The Boss wants me to do some handyman around the house crap so I might be in servitude.

    Go back two weeks and for any time that did lose the 3Q after being behind at the HT they won the 4Q so this play hits at like 98% over the last 2 weeks.

    Doesn't mean it will win > 50% over the NEXT two weeks though. Which is why they call it gambling.


    SOOOOOOOO, what we do is for any team behind at the HT we play the ML for the 3Q and if the team loses that one then we double up on the ML for the 4Q. So, either we win BIG or we go bankrupt. But, that is the way I roll. My mentor always told me "You cannot win big if you do not bet big".

    OK I was on CHI first two quarters, now I place bet on MIAMI 3th quarter ML. Think one possible reason is the starters get a rest at the start of the 2nd half ? Anyway I am on MIA now and if they Lose I double my bet for the 4Q; Good Luck !

    Hmm doesn't pay good I am on MIA ML 3Q and CHI +3.5 3Q; also the under (first 2Q also under)

    You need nerves of steel to do this. At one point I had a Knicks 4Q play of 3750 to win 1500 and the Knicks were DOWN most of the 4Q. LOL

    Then I had to come right back with Dallas and Denver 4Q plays of 700 to win 660, on each. LOL

    Not for the faint hearted.

    Well trust me, after years of gambling (sports investing I like to call it!) you need to have some nerve. But that is how you get ahead doing anything. People that have no nerve never get anywhere and have really boring lives for the most part.

    It would be very interesting to see how this "system" works over the long haul. It is something that takes a bit to monitor because you can't just bet the game and go...you need to stay around for the entire game and be ready at half and at the end of the third quarter.

    It amazes me how many people I know that could spend the rest of their lives making really good money gambling but don't know it yet!

    I developed nerve playing blackjack. When you count cards you have to bet the count times your unit size. So, you can have streaks where you are betting 20 units and you lose, then the count is 24, next bet is 24 units, and you lose, count is 25, next bet is 25 units....takes a lot of nerve to keep coming back with big unit bets, but if you don't the probabilities won't be on your side and you will lose in the long run.

    I view this sports betting the same way as playing BJ and knowing the count. This is why large unit sizes don't scare me. If I know I have an edge I am not shy about stepping up.
