    Hi guys,

     

    I have read in a few threads stuff about money managment. So I tought that it would be a lot easier if we can bring it all in 1 thread.

    I bet on JM's NBA plays right now, but I don't want to doubling up after a loss, that's just suicide if you lose 2 series.

    So I've read some stuff about labouchere. But if you have 3 A games in a row and you lose them all than it would take 6 games to finally get a little profit???

    Can you guys tell me which money managment system that you use??

    A modified labby or something like that?

     

    just tell me pls ;)

    But how many units would I win with this system in one JM NBA season???

    let us assume:

    Day 1:Game A: lose 170 to win 100

    Day 2: Game A: lose 170 to win 100
               Game A: lose 170 to win 100

    Than my labby would look like this

    50 - 50 - 50 - 50 - 85 - 85 - 85
    50 - 50 - 50 - 50 - 85 - 85 - 85
    50 - 50 - 50 - 50

    It would take a very long while to clean up my A and B line don't you think?

    then don't split up the A losses on the first and second line. JM's system is very strong on the B play. In fact, I straight play many of his games with some of my other books because they hit at such a high rate. 

    Take 75% of your losses and put them on the B bet and just 25% on the A line. 

    If you lose the whole series then re-distribute those losses back into your lines. He's not going to lose many series (knock on wood) so you'll get your wins back. 

    Also, if you ever get to a C bet I've found it very profitable to do an open parlay with my C bets. But you have to find a book that will let you do this first of course.
