    I dont think any labby line over an A, B, C (or 1,2,3) is worth it. too many variables. 

    Also, once a line is cleared (A/1, B/2 or C/3) I move the "weakest" line to the "A" slot since A/1 tends to win the most. Win $$$ back faster.

    Good to hear from u neilsy.

    I use an aggressive labby unless numbers start to get too big, then I back off the aggressiveness.  So, aggressive means I add losses into the last number on a line instead at the end, but if any number becomes too big I split it in two.  Too big for me is 3 times the starting amount, larger than that would make a bet size bigger than 2 units.  So:

    10-10-10-25

    is fine, but

    10-10-10-30 becomes:

    10-10-10-15-15

    divide losses equally is what i do.it is much better than traditional labby during a losing streak.

    3 loss scenario no juice

    traditional labby                              equally divided labby

    10-10-10-10-20                               12-12-12-12-12

    10-10-10-10-20-30                           14-14-14-14-14-14

    10-10-10-10-20-30-40                       16-16-16-16-16-16-16

    total lost=90                                    total lost=72

    smaller losses=smaller future wagers.

    For Opening Game Home Chase I am using the 3 Line 4 Strike Method.  My beginning line is my base bet amount divided by 4.   If my base amount is $8 then my line is 2-2-2-2.  If I win I strike all 4 numbers instead of the traditional 2 numbers.  If I lose I split the loss between Line's 1 and 2. Once the lines get longer than 4 numbers I add the last number and the first three numbers to get my bet amount. The 4 Strike approach is more aggressive and requires more bank, but I only need to hit 20% to break even so to speak.

    Example:
    My base bet or unit amount is $20

    (A)BOS -150   $30 to win $20
    (A)ATL  -200   $40 to win $20
    (A)NYY -175   $35 to win $20

    Game A Line
    5-5-5-5  This is the total of 1 unit for me (5x4=20). 

    Game B Line
    5-5-5-5

    Game C Line
    5-5-5-5

    Lets say that BOS and ATL win.  I won $40(2 units) on those two bets.  So Game A Line cleared twice because each win strikes off 4 numbers.  However, NYY lost 35.  So now I split the lost $35 and add it to Game A Line and Game B Line.

    Game A Line
    5-5-5-5-18

    Game B Line
    5-5-5-5-18

    Game C Line
    5-5-5-5

    The next day the only play will be for NYY to win 33(The last number on Game B Line(18) + the 1st three numbers on Game B Line(5+5+5).  If the Yanks win you strike off the 4 numbers that you added for the bet leaving you with:
    Game B Line
    5
    I then start a new Game B Line that will include that left over 5.

    Game B Line
    6.25-6.25-6.25-6.25

    The only thing that really matters is to be sure to strike off 4 numbers with each win and add only 1 number with each loss per line, thus 20% breaks even.  The Home Favorite Chase works beautiful with this because it hits on 60% of its plays.  With this Labby 4 Strike Method it's very important for your base bet to be no higher than 1% of your bankroll to protect against the bad streaks.  Even better if you could start at .5% of your roll.

    Example:
    My base bet or unit amount is $20

    (A)BOS -150   $30 to win $20
    (A)ATL  -200   $40 to win $20
    (A)NYY -175   $35 to win $20

    Game A Line
    5-5-5-5  This is the total of 1 unit for me (5x4=20). 

    Game B Line
    5-5-5-5

    Game C Line
    5-5-5-5

    Lets say that BOS and ATL win.  I won $40(2 units) on those two bets.  So Game A Line cleared twice because each win strikes off 4 numbers.  However, NYY lost 35.  So now I split the lost $35 and add it to Game A Line and Game B Line.

    Game A Line
    5-5-5-5-18

    Game B Line
    5-5-5-5-18

    Game C Line
    5-5-5-5

    The next day the only play will be for NYY to win 33(The last number on Game B Line(18) + the 1st three numbers on Game B Line(5+5+5).  If the Yanks win you strike off the 4 numbers that you added for the bet leaving you with:
    Game B Line
    5
    I then start a new Game B Line that will include that left over 5.

    Game B Line
    6.25-6.25-6.25-6.25

    Bumping this as there are very good points on here. 

    If I am using a labby line on a system which hits 60-65%, is it better to have a short line with higher unit numbers, or a longer line with lower unit numbers? I'm leaning towards the shorter with higher numbers. 

    For example, which would be better:
    1-1-3-3-7-7-10-10
    or 
    1-1-5-5-15-15

    I imagine either way would be fine, depending on the juice...of course the trick is what to do during a losing streak or a rough patch, as we know it happens. That's when the money management further comes into it..

    If I have crossed off my first 4 original numbers but I am left with just bigger numbers remaining.. I will sometimes cut the left number down a bit so it helps to reduce the next couple of bets and get back into a healthier position..

    Just need to be flexible and ready to occasionaly adjust..

    Definitely depends on the average line of those games hitting at that win%.  If its low i feel the shorter and higher to rake those profits in, if your paying some good vig you may want to conserve for that one bad streak that always seems to happen.
    my 2cents anyways

    System 1, hitting 60%, the average is -135
    System 2, hitting 65%, the average is -150

    I think I will try the more aggressive method.

    Another question, 

    The drawback of the standard Labby method is that if you get to G2 or beyond, you only profit 0.5u per win. 

    Have you ever played with increasing your ending labby number to gain back that 0.5u? Are you being exposed to alot more risk vs what it is worth?

    For example, if the standard game 2 labby will looks like this:
    1-1-1-3
    You win $4, minus the $3 that you lost in the first game. Giving you a profit of $1. Martingale would have given you $2. 

    However, if you add $1 to the $3 you can gain that extra $1 back. 
    Here is what the line would look like:
    1-1-1-3(+1)

    That's very similar to the aggressive labby method.. adding your loss onto the last number. That way you gain a full unit and recover all losses..

    I was doing that for awhile last year and loved it... but then it can get out of hand quickly too..and I was playing online + money lines. I feel if you are playing on any juice it get out of hand quite quickly after a couple losses.

    As Dan always says... go back on previous actual system results... and just do a mock labby line to see how it would have performed. That way you have actual figures.. 

    I am all for labby.. I think it's great... while you protect yourself against a system loss, you still need ot be careful as every now and then your line can quickly get out of control.

    Thanks.
    I started running through a mock season and it looks very good. I'm just looking how to squeeze a couple extra units out of it.

    If you want to check it out, go to my 5 run chase spreadsheet. I have a tab in there called Labby. It is a backrest I did of last years system.

    thats how my Lines like right now... I bet the over on every single one of those teams... using an agressive labby after 3rd loss

    10—10
    1L 10—10--20
    2L 10-10-20-30
    3L 20-20-30-40 after 3rd loss join first 2 numbers 
    4L 20-20-30-60
    5L 20-20-30-140 on 5th loss combine it to your 4th loss and divide equally into other lines so that your not betting so much on the 6th game  
    6L 20-20-30-50
    7L 20-30-30-50-70
