This system is starting to "balance out" after today.. (60-57 record last season)..
Would have been smart to bail out at the 11-1 record..as I warned everyone who is betting it

Don't drink the beer...the beer has gone bad! 

@DavidScott...Hey you might be right, but if you read the thread, I plan to track it for the whole year.  Therefore, you can save yourself the trouble of telling me to quit everytime we hit a bad streak.  Again, I have not gained or lost one penny on this.

Results for Thursday April 15th:

16)  Rockies -105
17)  Texas -55

YTD: 12-5  +294

Plays for Friday April 16th:

18)  Tampa Bay +155  33/50 (TB W3)

It's all good, I'm with ya brrrlacher..   Tracking any system is interesting.  I may figure out the 2008 results too, but it takes some time.  BOL.

I forgot that Beckett goes 33-0 every year.  I should reconsider.

Results for Saturday April 17th:
 
18)  Tampa (suspended game)  +50
19)  Atlanta -50
20)  Seattle +50
21)  Pitt +50
 
Day:  3-1 +100

YTD: 15-6 +394

A little confusion on that TBay game.  The play (#18)  was still alive and therefore the  #20 play should not have existed.  I had a busy day yesterday so I didn't have time to update it.  Luckily, both won but only the original bet will count.

I wonder if this system would have any applicability to the NBA as well. Only problem I can see is that the moneylines would fluctuate significantly -- I mean with a team like Cleveland or LAL on a winning streak against a bottom tier team, you could easily be looking to lay -700 or something. That scares me.

brr -- you got Yanks listed twice, 22 and 26. This should probably just be one play, although I imagine when you have two streaks converging (W's for Yanks, L's for Rangers), you should probably be doubling your bet?

yeah.  I was trying to come up with a way for it to make sense to someone who just looks in.  It could've been one play.  Either way the final number will be the same.

Yanks -170  329/205

It's really betting each team will have their first 4 game winning streak BEFORE their first 3 game winning streak is snapped,  and correspondingly have their first 4 game losing streak BEFORE they have their first 3 game losing streak snapped. 
   You keep betting on 3 game streaks until the FIRST 4 game winning streak and FIRST 4 game losing streak for each team.  ...60 winning plays, and you're done.
