    Thunder lost and so we chase. As a side note I'm not optimistic on this chase. The Spurs are such a power house.

    Spurs lose and we'll chase. I'm pretty sure we'll make a unit on the Spurs. Next bet though is on the Heat.

    Painful loss for the Spurs. Next chase in OKC looks dismal but at least it will be an overlay. Next chase is on the Heat.

    Ouch. Spurs lose 4 in a row and that is death for the system. The system lost 6.893 units on the Spurs alone (-0.633u + -3.80u + -2.46u). The system is now up 0.875 units and that doesn't include the pending Miami chase. If the Heat lose that will be a huge blow to the system as they were favoured in every game.

    Miami had a nice comeback to tie the series and the system is up +1.875 units. Not bad considering the non zigzag nature of the playoffs so far. Since Boston was not one of the chasing teams I'll be waiting for the championship to resume the betting.

    Tough loss and the system is over. The NBA playoffs had very few zigags for the teams selected. The system lost 3.42 units chasing the Thunder and that puts the system down -0.545 units. Again, not a bad result considering how many of the series' played out. 

    I will try it again next year.
