Experiment: NBA Parlay System

Hey guys. Because I love NBA and want to test a strategy I think may be profitable, I'm going to run an experiment here on NBA ATS betting.

The money management strategy is the same as Dan's NHL Parlay system. To pick the plays, I generally used my own intuition combined with past ATS results. I've never kept a full-season total on how well I do against the spread using this method, though I think in the past I've won more often than not. We'll see.

I'm using a VERY low investment for this.

Today's Parlay

Chicago -4 + Atlanta +3.5 (1 to win 2.64)

good luck beef

I'm actually doing the same thing just waiting on the teams to get a few more games in for stats and to get a read.  I'm new to NBA capping so it's totally experimental.  I enjoy Dan's System of Money Management and I will employ it as well.

Best of luck. The MM system works well with NBA using your 2 top plays.

I was considering doing this with 1st half plays, but no way will I have time to post (big road trip and 2 week cruise coming up).

No data, I've just been doing better playing 1st half lines. Lost too many covers on last minute/second garbage baskets.

I go very light on hoops, just for a little fun.

Since DR's first successful year posting and sharing this strategy I have adopted it to almost every sport i put action on......although many of the ATS sports i purely go on capping skills & intuition (which sometimes are not the best), the idea and MM is spot on to create above average value to the BR.  Personally I like system rules to help chose the two games, a little less pressure but pretty sure this is my way of blaming the system for the loss rather than myself 

Hi guys,
I've been theorising a way to use the danrules tonystoffo money management system.
For NBA I've been considering a strategy for playing correlated parlays, and for several reasons which may it may not be true (will have to do a back check to find out) is to play the smallest road dog +/ under the total.
So far this season looks okay, but will have to see past years results before playing or making any judgement.

69 pts in the first half for Charlotte WTF!!!!
I'm on Chi +2.5 in a teaser, hoping the boys can claw it back too!

Yeesh. Not sure what happened to Chicago last night. Onward we go.

Thanks, Dan. You're the man.

What I like about this money management strategy is that compound interest really starts to stack up quickly if you can go a month + without losses. Even if you do lose, your bank pretty much recovers within 2-3 weeks assuming you can avoid a further loss.

However, I'm personally very sensitive losing, so I generally don't like strategies that have you losing a lot more nights than you win. That made it difficult to stick to this last baseball season after I suffered 2-3 losses after the first month and a half.

But as I said, I'm going very light on this (5% of my bankroll to be exact), so I think I can stick with it through the season even if it crashes and burns.

This will probably be your biggest edge if you're looking for a simple, consistent day-to-day play. This may be a smarter move, as psychology starts to play a role when you're picking your own games. It's a lot harder to weather the downswings if you start to question yourself. However, my plays here are guided by a slight filter (Good ATS teams vs. bad ATS teams) - though I use my own judgement to decide which of these are the best moves on a given night BOL

How about the good old Lowest total UNDER parlayed with the Highest total OVER, combined with the TonyStoffo | Danrules MM?

I'm no good at backtesting, but it may be worth looking at.
