    I'm not quite sure what happens with my lines in the following situation:

    Current Lines

    L1 = 1-1-1-9.27

    L2 = 1-1-1-10.25

    L3 = 1-1-1-1

    I placed multiple bets on L1 and L2 here are the results:

    L1 = +10.27 +10.27 +10.27 - 12.25 and -11.09  There for on L1 I placed 5 bets and went 4-2

    L2 = +11.25 +11.25 and -15.98 Therefore on L2 I placed 3 bets and went 3-1

    So based on the results above I would like to know: What is the proper way to spread out the results over my 3 lines

    I hope that makes sense

    First, you cross out whatever bets you WON. On line 1, you should cross the first and last number (1 and 9.27)

    Then (still on L1), you'd redistribute your losses back into the Labby. You lost 12.25 and 11.09, so these two totals need to be redistributed back into the Labby.  Either cut them in half (6.13 & 6.13, 5.55 & 5.55) and place each new total at the end of lines 1 & 2, like this:

    L1 = x-1-1-6.13-5.55

    L2 = 1-1-1-10.25-6.13-5.55

    L3 = 1-1-1-1

    OR, you can place the entire lost total at the end of the line on which you lost the bet on (L1), like this:

    L1 = x-1-1-12.25-11.09

    L2 = 1-1-1-10.25

    L3 = 1-1-1-1

    I suggest splitting the total losses in half and distributing them onto 2 lines, not just 1.

    Do the same thing for your L2 wins & losses. Cross out your wins first (1 & 10.25), then add half your losses to L2 and L3, like this:

    L1 = x-1-1-x-6.13-5.55

    L2 = x-1-1-x-6.13-5.55-7.99

    L3 = 1-1-1-1-7.99

    I kept the "x' in there to show you which bet was crossed out, which are the ones you one.

    Moral of the story: First cross out your winning bets. Then add your losses.  An "L1" loss gets distributed 1/2 onto the line it was placed on (L1), and the following line (L2). An "L2" loss gets distributed 1/2 onto the line it was placed on (L2), and the following line (L3). An "L3" loss distributed 1/2 onto the line it was placed on (L3), and the following line (L1, since there's no following line).

    Make sense?  If not, you shouldnt be using a Labourchere method

    I know it's a little late in the game to be posting on this thread since it's been about a week since the last post, but here goes in the hopes that you(Oilcountry) will come back to check.
         It seems to me that the line progression you are showing is out of whack.  I may be wrong, but it looks to me like you set up your lines in terms of UNITS.  Then when you added numbers for wins and losses you recorded them in terms of DOLLARS.  Is this correct?  You can go either way but you must be consistent.  Either record ALL the numbers as UNITS, or ALL the numbers as DOLLARS....and I would round off on those.  I hope this helps a little.  GL

    I appreciate the post.  the reason the last number is so big is because it's an agressive labby and there were multiple losses already placed on the last #.

    My reason for posting was because I wasn't sure how multiple games were put back onto the line.  I now understand how this should be done

    Peace
