RL -1 6 game Chase

1. Going with the RL -1 in MOST situations (made from the RL -1.5 and the ML), unless the line is too significant and the RL -1.5 is a favorite, in which case I will take the -1.5. Such as today.

2. Going with the OPENING favorite and not the favorite at whatever time I place the bet. It's for uniformity purposes, as my computer access time will differ by day and I don't want to be stuck in a position where that becomes a variable.

The main premise, while I run the risk of being redundant, is to take the favorite opening ML (most juice) and bet them on the RL -1. If I win, the "series" starts over again. If I lose, we go on to the next day's favorite to make my unit of profit AND make back the money lost from the previous bet. This continues until previous bets of the "series" are covered or 6 games are hit. a 6 game chase is rare (knock on wood).

A push, since this is a possibility in my scenario, means no action and the "series" continues on the same game, as there is no loss on that day that requires recovery.

Despite it being a pure system, there may be times where I refrain from playing or perhaps take the 2nd best favorite. If something looks like a complete joke to me and I don't think it's a safe heavy favorite, I might play another team instead. And on days where there simply are no real true favorites, like on Thursday, where there were not that many games, there will be no play.

So here we go...

05/29 (yesterday's pick...Game A):
NYM -1 @ -114.
Push (Final: 2-1)

05/30 (Game A again):
PHI -1.5 @ -109

I booked this last night on Matchbook, so I saved a little. The line you can get on there is currently -116, which is still not that bad, IMO...considering the matchup.
