2010 Football Labouchere System

It's football time  I am going to try and document things this year a little better..  

I am going to do a simple labouchere line.  It will start with a simple line of ten 5's.

5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5

There are about 200 possible games betting one games a time in a timeline.  Going 40% should allow us to clear 4 lines, going 50% should allow us to clear 10 lines.  This gives us a lowball estimate range of profit between $200-$500 for the season.  Going over 50% increases the profit obviously.

I have identified the first 10 games that I plan to bet on between Thursday and Monday if the timing goes well and I am available to place the next bet.

Minnesota, USC, Arizona, Florida, Texas, Alabama, Wisconsin, East Caolina, Maryland, Boise Under.

Looking at it, it's a lot of fricking chalk so let's hope these teams come out strong.

First up $10 Minnesota

Minnesota 24-17.  YTD 1-0

Current Line looks like this  5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5, Red indicates cleared.

Late game tonight USC -21.5

USC 

YTD 1-1

Current Line looks like this  5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,11 Red indicates cleared.

Next wager is $16 on Arizona tonight -16.5

Arizona  41-2  

YTD 2-1

Current Line looks like this  5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,11 Red indicates cleared.

Next wager is $10 on Florida tomorrow morning -38 -105

Have a great night!

Florida Blows...

YTD 2-2

Current Line looks like this  5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,11, 10.50,  Red indicates cleared.

Next game on the schedule is $15.50 on Texas -31 -102

Good Luck this afternoon

Week 1 was 4-5-1

Week 2 games are NO Saints, WV, Houston, E Carolina, FSU, Bama, USC....so far

Current line after the E. Carolina game looks like this

5,5,5,10.50

Current record 7-8-2

Games for NFL will be Indy, GB, Dal, Balt, KC

Current line looks like this

5,5,10.50,10.90

That last $10.90 is because I wasn't around to add $5 to my USC bet last night.  Was at the Cubs/Brewer game.

$15.90 on the Colts -1 to start the day.

Loss on the Colts...dammit I liked Miami too but couldn't pull the trigger.  Pack is looking good after 3 QTR's.

5, 5, 10.50, 10.90, 17.33

$22.33 on GB -2.5 -118

After week 2 I am 9-11-2, could easily be 12-8-2 if I hadn't made 3 last minute changes in the first 2 weeks including Monday night, had the Chiefs and last minute changed to the Bolts.  Stupid.

Going into this week the first Labouchere Line looks like this.

10.50, 10.90, 21.83

I will list the picks for the week in a bit. NC State -1.5 is currently in play for $32.33

Rest of the college week looks like this for now.

Cal -2.5, Connecticut, Nebraska, Clemson and then Houston...

Labouchere Line looks like this after NC State win

$10.90.

Hope to start a new one after Cal tomorrow night.

Cal blew last night  run it back today with UConn -5.5

Line looks like this

$10.90, $11.77

NFL Games will be Atl, Hou, NY G and NO Over....time permitting, I have a birthday party Sunday for my 4 year old so it may be tough to get all bets placed between games,

Good Luck everyone!

Just completed a Labouchere line in baseball with the Minnesota win this morning.  Started the same time as the Football line.

Starting bankroll $500

Currently 1 line completed

Current Bankroll $550

Keep rolling Nebraska

Nebraska covered and I switched the 6PM game to Oklahoma St instead of Clemson so that is in the bag too.  I thought OK St was an 1PM game.  So that completed the first line.

1 baseball and 1 football line completed.

Starting the 2nd line with Houston -3 over UCLA tonight.

Houston lost last night, Atlanta Falcons covered easily today.

$10 on the Texans at 3PM.  -2.5  -112

Nice OT win from Houston.  Run it back with NY Giants +4 -108 tonight for $10

14-14-2 YTD.

YTD 15-15-2, 50% just the way I like it.

1 FB Line Cleared, 2nd line looks like this after the Saints Over tonight

5,5,5,5,5,5

On to next week.  Have a party Next Saturday so I may not be able to bet every game like I would like....good thing about the system is you can miss one or two and pick it up where you left off.

Hockey starts on October 7th, I will be doing this for every sport.  Not sure how to keep track of it on covers yet.  Should I have a thread for each sport to keep is less confusing?

Starting bankroll Sept 1 = $500

2 lines cleared (1 baseball, 1 football)

Current bankroll Sept 21 = $600

I am going to try and put together some estimates for gains for a 12 month period.  My low low low estimate without any increases is $4000, thinking it should be much higher than that though

Screw it - I am doing everything in one thread.  NHL starts tonight with some preseason action.  Starting the NHL Labby line the same as baseball and football.

NHL Line 5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5

Tonight's first NHL bet! Florida/Carolina Under 5 1/2 -130

$13 to win $10!

Best of Luck!

This is going to be used as kind of a summary for the different Labby lines.  I will update it when a line is complete.  The goal is to complete a line/week in one of the sports.  That should turn the $500 into over $3000 by next September...more when I slowly increase the line amount.

Hockey went 2-0 last night.  Good start!
