This is my first time ever putting the system to use. I saw a thread here on Covers for college football that mentioned that since 1982, there had only been ONE team to ever start a season UUUOOO. Meaning if you bet EVERY team on a 6 game chase the opposite of that, OOOUUU, you would have only ever lost the 6 game chase one time.
I started back testing that against other sports, starting with basketball. I created a spreadsheet for every year from 2009-2019. The 6 game chase was winner in the long run, but VERY volatile. It would have seasons where it lost 25k, and seasons where it won 25k, but in the end, was very profitable. I don't know about you, but I can't afford to lost 25k. So, my goal was twofold.
1) Limit the number of game 6 losses.
2) Limit the maximum amount of money I can lose each season.
So I thought to myself, "If I made the chase longer, what's the best combination of OU, UO, OO, or UU to add to the 6 game chase to make it an 8 game chase. The answer, looking back at game 6 losses, was OU. It made 52 out of 67 game 6 losses become winners on game 7, or 8. This means there WAS still a game 8 loss 15 times from 2009-2019.
On the 6 game chase, this was my betting pattern.
1-3-9-27-81-243
For me, I started with one unit being $14.40 on the 6 game chase. The reason for this, was that it made the game 6 play ($14.40*243) $3500. The maximum amount I ever wanted to risk on a game. As we saw this year though... we experienced a game 6 loss BEFORE a game 6 win, and that REALLY hurt my bankroll. It's not something I can sustain. I can't afford to risk another 2 or 3 game 6 losses, especially when the 6 game method has had REALLY bad seasons before.
The 8 game chase, is 1-3-9-27-81-243-729-2187. If I make one unit = $1.60, this makes the game 8 play $3500. The chase gets extended two more games (8 instead of 6), and the bets become MUCH smaller in the beginning. This makes it to where we aren't having any $25,000+ seasons, but the most the 8 game method would have EVER lost in one year was like $5k. It was even MORE profitable than the 6 game chase though, in terms of how many winning or losing seasons it had. Less losing seasons, more winning seasons, just for smaller amounts.
Is it boring to bet $1.60 on game 1? Yes. But it makes game 4 plays $43.21. Game 5 plays $129.63. And game 8 plays ARE still $3500, there's just VERY few of them. The game 6 chase lost this year on Miami... but if you were playing the 8 game chase (OOOUUUOU), it hits on game 7. We avoid the HUGE loss, and win on a 729 unit bet ($1,166.67 for me).
It's slower and safer is the bottom line.
