NCAA Football -6 game chase 3480-1 since 1980

right, so basically opening weekend each game will have a starting play of 2 units. 1u for each team

so 2u 3u 7u etc.. will be how progession looks. or you can bet each game 2x for 1u each. it will be same result win or lose

There was a lot of excitement for that big progression play and winning 120 units. I doubt that I have the funds and balls to play that.

If you look at week 1, 2 and 3, you will see a profit every year for ALL of those weeks. Seems to me we can make money just playing those bets and a sizeable amount. That was just flat betting and if you want to get creative with some labby lines there is probably a fair amount to be made. Especially since in each week you have games spanning multiple days not to mention multiple times.

Wow. So if you are betting to win 100 as your unit, @ -110, week one you would need to lay 13,200 to be in, right? 120 teams is 120 one unit wagers right? 120 x 110= 13,200.

I'm beat, and my math sucks when I am tired. Please let me know where I'm off here...

I'm not entirely certain that I know how to create those queries, but when I looked for teams that went on an "over" streak to start the season, no one has ever gone past four straight overs. If our goal is to gain one unit per team as quickly as possible, it seems that only having to go to a fifth game is more desirable than going to a sixth or seventh game. Additionally, only nine teams even went to a fifth game, and the latest the system has ever gone is October 18th.

Like I said, I'm no expert on those queries, so someone can feel free to correct my research.

Hey Neilsy.  I wish I knew how to run queries on the database, but I don't!  That's why I'm asking the questions.

Anyway, I'm wondering how many teams started the season with 3 straight unders and how many teams started with 3 straight overs?  If it is only a few, then forget it, but if it is a pretty good amount, why don't we wait for the first three weeks and then start our chase on week 4.  Play every team that went UUU for 1 more under and every team OOO for 1 more over.

Just a thought, not sure how many plays it would generate, though.   Thanks for the effort!

hey Cinderella,,,wouldn"t generate that many..maybe 15-20 total .not bad ,but i think we could do better... jasonb..just looking at the stat coachnip mentioned.. i think you could wait till week 2..and then all teams that played an over week 1..start chasing to an under..or even the original plan as i laid out generated some major profits. closer to the season i am going to look at the past 5 years and see which approach would yeild the most $$.,keeping in mind that if you waited till week 2 and started a 4 game chase.. you could probably double your unit size in comparison to chasing to 6 from week one..definetely will be crunching the numbers on this closer to the season.. got some CFL and WNBA units to make in the meantime !

neilsy25 if you could make a syntax for NBA trying to find out the records for systems such as after 4 straight over or unders and then chasing the opposite for 3 games i think you will find it is quite profitable. I ran a thread many months back if you want to check it out and this strategy looked really promising. 

Payday..your right,, i queried NBA back to 2005 .my query was a bit different  Iooking for 3 unders and chasing the next 4 to go over.. 100+ units each year.. the opposite (3 overs then betting under) was not as profitable or consistent..
