Well, I use betus and sportsbook.com to play the jm nba systems, and I have to buy 3 points with those. I pretty much only play the jm systems on betus/sportsbook.com. I like to just play 1 system per sportsbook. With my 2 locals, I only play the plays from the calculator.

How's JM working out for you this year chili? It seemed like a lot of JM plays were losing but I haven't paid close attention. Maybe none of them made it to the third leg?Comment -
It's been going good, as usual. This is my 3rd year playing the JM NBA systems, and it's always worked really good.Comment -
Well I guess I will stick with RebateWager for now and HOPEFULLY they will allow me to keep doing this unlike BetJamComment -
Chili...with the JM systems...do you play ALL the sports and martingale?? Do you play them on a labby? I get his plays too, but haven't followed them at all...Comment -
Gotcha...so no NHL? And do you do just a regular 1-Line Labby? 2-Line Labby?? ThanksComment -
No NHL, and just a one line labby, but I move them around all the time. I have the plays in an excel spreadsheet, and if there's a play for the day, I just grab the oldest active labby line and use that one for today's play. If there's multiple games going on, I do the same thing, just grab however many open labbys I have, and move them to today. If there are no other open labby lines, then I just start a new one, but with increased wager amounts.Comment -
If I understand labby correctly, that's basically a martingale system that distributes the losses over multiple bets instead of doubling up, correct?Comment -
correctComment -
Nice. I know martingale has been disproved by computer simulations time and time again. Does the Labby system do well? Because Martingale does come out positive more often than not over a long series of trials, but the rare catastrophic losses of the entire bankroll more than invalidate the gains. What are the chances that a Labby system goes bust?Comment -
Certainly possible if you go on a long losing streak, but I haven't had that happen yet.Comment -
hey impper, you still running nba totals through the calc?Comment -
I haven't been running NBA totals, since buying points is a bad proposition as far as that's concerned. When you buy two half points on the nba, you're moving the line by 10-30% or more, when you're buying two half points on a total you're only moving the line by half a percent.Comment -
I mean I haven't been buying points for NBA. I do however use Pinnacle's lines as a guide. If I come down on one side of a game and Pinnacle is favoring that side, I bet it.Comment -
Yah I know, but I meant when your book is giving you a different total than the pinny line, or in my case, where you can get the sides at -105. I just don't know how effective it is; but I assumed there has to be an angle there, since the function exists in the calc for a reason.Comment -
if pinny is offering something at -110 and you can get a half point better with -105, i believe you have an edge there. Of course, NBA total lines move like crazy... the good thing is it's relatively easy to predictComment -
I guess I don't really understand Chili how you do your labby lines...can you explain a little more?? I have heard of people doing like a 2-Line Labby and just spreading the losses out equally over both lines and just moving back and forth from one day to the next...that way the wagers don't get huge...
For example a 2-Line labby like this:
10-10-10-10
10-10-10-10
You still play the 2 outside numbers but say you LOST your $20 bet, then you make the lines like this:
12.50-12.50-12.50-12.50
12.50-12.50.12.50-12.50
Then if you WIN your next game, then the lines are like this:
12.50-12.50-12.50-12.50
12.50-12.50
Let me know what you think...I trust you and impper a lot so just wanted your insight...Comment -
Sure, you can do it like that as well. There's so many different ways to do the labby; so whatever you're most comfortable with. I personally like a 1 line labby, doing it the way I've been doing it.Comment -

And for the NBA tonight:
NBA
Atlanta +9.5 (2.8 units)
NY Knicks -3.5 (3.5 units)Comment -
Went 4-1. One College and 4 NBA. Two or two and a half units for each.
With the one loss being Thunder +8, the final score 90-99. So close
Comment -
Nice
You using a local to buy 3 pts at -165?
Comment -
Hey Chili dog keep it up! I don't gamble anymore but I'm a handicapper wanting to support you with your success and to continue what you are doing.Comment -
i'm not going to jump on this system until the winning rate lowers, because I'm afraid we haven't seen the downside (if there is one) to this. You can't profit 6 out of 7 days like this, it's too ridiculousComment -
Welp, I'm up 12 units now, but I had a bet on the Clippers which looked good all night, except now they're being the clippers so I'm probably going to end up +6 units, instead of being up huge...
******* clippers. i hate del negroComment -
With point buying I was 7-2-1 today. 9-2-2 on bets where I doubled up later on the day. I added a few totals parlays and went 2-3-0 , looking like 2-4-0 after clipps lose. So break-even on parlays, would be up huge on parlays if Clips just didn't suck...Comment -
Okay Clips bet actually looks safe now. So with the winning parlay and winning point-buying bet I'm up +20-something units. The Clips talent prevails over del negro's determination to lose...Comment -
hey chili....glad u doing well. I just couldnt continure tailing without buying 3 points for -165....I cant believe your books take the action even though you smoke them, hope it continues...by any chance you tracked the plays without 3 points or did u give up on that?Comment -
Sure, I guess the downside is the losing days that occur. But mathematically, the winning days will always outnumber the losing days. It's a mathematical certainty. Numbers can't lie.
I thought I kicked butt with my +6 units, but +20 is even better!! Congrats! Gosh, I love hearing about +20 unit days. I mean, c'mon, when does that normally happen, on a consistent basis (multiple times a week), with any other form of handicapping? It'd be hard to find it!
I gave up tracking without buying the 3 points. The first week I was actually betting the plays without buying the points, and cleaned up. Then the first 4 days of last week I went on a losing streak, by not buying the points. I started buying points again last Thursday, the 2nd, and it's been awesome ever since.
You can still do this with buying 3 points at -170. That's what jolm and impper are doing, and it's working out rather well for them. In fact, for CBB, I do the numbers based on -170 (last night, I ran NBA also on -170, and ended up missing out on 4 additional games that I would've had by running the numbers at -165, which ultimately cost me an extra +3 units).Comment -
Some early plays in the NBA:
Houston -3.5
Bobcats +5.5
Golden State +12Comment
