Bracketbuster weekend is here and here is the original system. I didn't come up with it, I am just putting it out there as a reminder. I think category #1 is the best play. The other categories have run their course b/c ESPN has way too many teams playing bracketbuster games. Might be even time to start fading them based on the last few years results.

1) ALL TOTALS 144.5 or less are played OVER ... The exception is if it is a line of 10+ do not play!!!
Play all totals of 144.5 or less to go over unless the game line is 10 or more

2) PLAY ON ALL DOGS OF 10 OR MORE

3) PLAY ON ALL DOGS OF 1-3.5

4) PLAY ON ALL TEAMS THAT NORMALLY DON'T HAVE LINED GAMES ( IE. Holy Cross, Central Connecticut St., etc)

Here are games that fall into bracketbuster Eligibility. will they be plays? Time will tell.

[soxwin]

The lines will jump fast if you wait as many bet these totals. Rule of thumb is if the opening # is 140 or below bet it as soon as it comes out to avoid losing value. If the total opens at 141 or higher wait to see if the total goes above the 144.5 range as it would then be out of range to play.

Is this the system from Mr. East?

[bigwinnner8]

Here are the early numbers from BetOnline. If there's a * it's close to 145 and might go over by tipoff, if the spread is 8+ it's listed. I'm not messing with the spreads aspect of the system. 40+ plays is enough and the dogs/unlined teams haven't been as consistant.

32-16 is no joke, that is some real evidence right there...

keep tracking sox!

[soxwin]

Here are the plays in all 4 categories. I am only playing the totals myself but I will track all 4 categories. Everyone is going to get different #'s by 1/2 pt here and there. I will update final total lines and W/L as the day goes on

Best of luck to anyone playing along.

[Owls]

Almost every single line of the Bracketbusters have been pounded higher on the totals, I don't know if there is much value left after what the sharps did to the opening totals lines. Almost each game's total is now between 2 to 4 points higher.

[Ketch]

from across the street:

I am Ned the inventor of the system, be careful please!!! I'm only posting here to let you know the system has changed dramatically and following the old system is very dangerous for this amount of plays. Good luck if you attempt to play it.

[dogman]

The time to play these were when the lines first came out. Almost every game bet up 2 or more points from the opener. Wish I saw this thread earlier.

[Ketch]

He is the guy who came up with this and followed it years ago when it was $$

[soxwin]

Final tally for the games
Normally unlined teams went 10-8-1
dogs of 10+ pts went 4-4
All dogs of 1-3.5 pts went 8-11
totals under 144.5 went 24-19
totals for weekend 46-44-1

Like I said in 1st post, IMO the totals were the best play and that was the only category to show any real profit. Too many bad teams playing each other to make it a special game for these teams. For the most part winning teams played well, which is what the original system was designed for. If you bet the #'s on the openers then you broke even, maybe even showed a little profit. For the most part those who played the morning of, you got juiced. This was by far the lowest win rate.
