Everyone needs to remember that this thread was started as a *you can do this yourself* system to fill the void created when another user decided to go into business for himself and start charging for his plays. It's for beginners... and for those who want to use the quickest/easiest method to develop a strategy that will make them money over the long haul and protect them from gutted when the games don't go their way. (Look at threads from the NBA Board and CBB Board... compare our results with the vast majority of users on nights when the books kick everyone's azz... we may have had a losing night... but we weren't gutted... that's one of the side benefits of RLM-based handicapping.)
Now... this isn't a criticism against anyone in particular... but it's an observation that has been pointed out to me by numerous people. The basics of this system have been bastardized to the point that it's strayed from its original intent... we're adding different handicapping methods into the equation. Now, there's nothing wrong with that... I do it... not by adding/subtracting points, or tracking home versus away, or anything else. However, I still stick to the original formula of 3,000 bets/game. Sometimes I'll play static. Sometimes I'll play games that are 55/45 versus 63/37 (or better). That's why you'll see me posting plays (noted as *my plays*) on the board. (The only reason I'm actually posting all of my plays as well as the betting amounts is because I was *called out* a few times for making bogus claims about how much I'd won. I also post them because there were at least two users that wanted me to post them because they wanted to tail me.)
Anyway, I like what we're doing and I'm all for people customizing the system to better suit their needs... but can we try to keep the basic RLM system (3,000 total bets/63% on one team/ static or better line move or 3,000 bets on at least one team/63% on one team/.5 or better line move) as is, so that newbies looking for a way to make money won't feel overwhelmed?
In closing... freesports is used to fill the original intent of this thread. There are a number of similar sites out there, and if you want to customize your handicapping, you can use any site (or combination of any/all of them) to base your RLM plays on. FreeSports is used to introduce the novice to the system and to make the *Official Tracking Plays* of this thread.
Now... go kick some Sports Books azz!

There's not a single game in which the line moved in the direction of the higher percentage of bets! Now I don't know what the fukk to do tonight. Too weird.
