    I've tried types of martingale as well in years past and you can go several months making money but it will eventually kill you if you stick with it.  

    The only system I believe does work is breaking your bankroll into units and betting the same amount every game.  You can adjust how much your units are as the BR grows but it still hinges on hitting a profitable percentage over the long haul.  The larger the BR, the larger the units and larger the profit per month/year/season.

    Unfortunately there are no short cuts in making good money with losing percentages.

    I'm following crushers plays over in sbr service forum and doing well his is a 4 game progression and he only bust 2 times in 4 years. go check out his site.  he talks about the best way to build the bankroll.

    without busting on a 4 game chase a 100.00 bankroll can easily grow too 30 grand in a year and that's just off one sport. soccer witch is all year around.  he plays 4 sports.

    hockey.  basketball  soccer  baseball.

    this is the way i'm playing crushers plays. I'm playing all sports and have a bankroll for each sport. when one sport is done such as football. instead of dividing my total bankroll by 4 for all 4 sports. I divide it by 3. and readjust my bets accordingly. I'm starting out with a pretty small bankroll so there's no way i'm even going to care if I bust.

    when playing 4 sports if a portion of my bankroll busted lets say in hockey. then I would take the reminder of the bankroll  I have left and divide that into 4. a section 4 each sport. 

    say for example if the base bet was $500 dollers for each sport and the total bankroll for the year was 40 grand. 10 grand for each sport.  basketball  busted. then take 30 grand and divide it between 4 sports and rebuild to 40 grand. hopefully the profit will be some where between 200 and 300 grand a year. this way if it was unfortunate that the bust out all 40 grand that year hopefully the total amount of money made in previous years will be enough to live still live on. anyone can have a bad year.

    Agreed Mrfix....that is the exact formula I use for my selections in my thread, except I use 3% of bank. But I believe if you feel you have an edge then play it no matter if its 1 game or 100.

    It's just unbelievable that people still give advices like "best way is to play singles.." or ".. invest only 3%..."

    Mathematics solved that question a long time ago.. The answer is: It depends from situation to situation, starting terms rules apply.

    I've made you a system calculator.. you can download it, or use it online @ advancedbetcalc.com/Downloads.aspx
