        I don't fully understand this yet, so bear with me. You find three picks a night that you like the best. Then you place them in order of what you think is the best one. Then you bet the first one with three points. If you lose you bet the next. If you lose you bet the next and by the third try you should be breaking even. Why buy the three points or is that part of the 100% winning stats?

        As for what you post the Record is what you have using this system. It doesnt pertain to units or any real amount right? What does that Record 8-0 mean cash wise or unit wise. Also it looks like if you just used your picks you'd be hitting 66.7% which isn't losing so why use this "system"

        hopefully that made some sense.

            so boston lost, so you risked as much money to cover that on cle which did win so you broke even? Or do you come out ahead when the 1st one doesnt win.

                FreeFall, each selection stands on its own. For instance, Selection #1, has it's own 3 games. If it loses the first, then myr10 will bet enough to cover the loss of the first game plus 1 unit. If myr10 loses again, then the bet would be enough to cover the first and second bets plus one unit. Now, Selection #1 does not care what Selection #2 is doing. Selection #1 is all about himself. Of course Selection #2 and #3 are the same. Very selfish these Selections.

                  ahh I'm getting it. So you just make picks that you think are good. In theory as long as you have thee in a row you should be ok to get one of those three right? Once you get one of the three right you move onto a next selection? So you could have 1 selection running at a time or 50.

                            You could also add the following modification if you lose, I use it for my 3 play rounds. Let me first state that I only use .56% of my bank as my starting wager in the series. Yes, that is .56%. Anyway, I lose one of my sets about every 10 sets or so, but I then add this loss into my wagers and thus turn it into a positive result.

                            Let me run through a loss real quick:

                            Starting Bank: $2171.52

                            Starting bet at $12 to win $10.91

                            If I lose all three then I lost $90.48 (Loss Pool). I divide that by 7, which is $13. I add the $13 to each bet until the Loss Pool is gone.

                            Now, let's say I lose another set and haven't finished recovering the loss from the previous one, I add the loss to the Loss Pool, but I do not increase the bet. I stick with that $13 until the Pool is dried up.

                            Just thought I would throw that out there for ya to chew on and see if it is something you might want to put into your handicapping.

                            Good Luck tonight. I'll be root-in fer ya. I have no plays tonight, so ya gave me a reason to watch the game

                                  4-8 weeks? Started 2/11, today is 2/24 not even 2 weeks, and there were no games 2/15-2/18 due to all-starweekend. In that time span there was 9 betting days. I posted my picks on 8 of them.

                                  My overall pick record is 14-8 and 1 push. But my series Record is 14-0, which means you would be up 1400.

                                                    I dont recall saying that a series has to consist of 3 picks of the same team. Your saying i lost all 3 games of that utah series, where is the 3rd utah loss?

                                                    The game #2 was on utah -2 on the 2/22 and i did lose. So i moved to a game #3 of that series. I never said it had to be the same team. I clearly bet on the Hornets +10 on 2/23 and won that series.

                                                      Hmm... greek... I do not believe myr10 follows a particular team series. That game #2, where myr10 lost on Utah, was followed by game #3, the Hornets +10. Which of course was a winning play.
