    SUPEREAGLE43, the amount of work that you’re doing is the only reason I choose to spend a few bucks. To me, (and this is only me - not an endorsement) it’s worth it to be able to simply press a “last 20” button or “streak” button.

    Is it common to experience extended streaks of hovering around 50% with your picks as I have with mine.  Maybe I am being to impatient.  I am 2-3 so far today (16-15 overall) with four picks remaining.

    Sometimes you break even for a week or two but its all part of the game. Please understand that the system works over time. This MLB season started off tough. It’s was really holding me back so I decided to concentrate the system on the NBA. It consistently shows a profit and for now I’m handicapping the MLB myself. Check out my MLB thread entitled “Today’s Whipping Boy” in the baseball forum.

    Try sticking with hoops for a while and I think you’ll be very pleased.

    I finished the day 3-6.  My first complete week on this system I have finished 17-18 using the wagerline streakers.  Some of these novice handicappers have been on some phenominal winning percentage.  I love the theory of this system and will continue to work it.

    You state above "please understand that this system works over time".

    Please share with us at what percentage it wins, your sample size, and the time period of your sample size.

    Vanzak, how do feel about this?  Does it have any merit in your opinion?  I am a big believer in the law averages.

    I can't speak/type for Vanzack, but I'm very sure he has the same opinion as I do about it.

    I went 2-6 on Sunday.  19-24 since Monday, which is when I started the system.  My human nature is kicking in and I am becoming very impatient after only 1 week.  Its been a couple of years since I have been a regulae sports wagerer.  Now that I am back it looks like I am going to have to build my impatience tolerance back up.

    Bengal, I just check each person's history until I find someone who meets the criteria.  Time comsuming at the beginning, but when you check it every night it gets much easier and more efficient.

    System went 6-3 on Monday to get back near 50%.  Overall I stand at 25-27 since starting last Monday.  Most all of the baseball plays have been underdogs, so I am actually up a little money with that record.  To answer your question Underdog, I actually came back because I had much success in my NCAA Tourny bracket and that rekindled the old flame.  Also had a little money saved that I was willing to invest.  Have you tried a system like this before and failed?  Is this a waste of time and a sure loser?  If you have experience on this please let me know.  I have always been a believer in law of averages.  I just have never had the patience and money mgt. skills to stick with any systems over the long run.  If I am barking up the wrong tree and you have personal experience with this please educate me.  I only have a $500 bank roll.  I only play 1% per play.

    The biggest problem with this system is the VOLUME of plays,  The more plays the worse youll do over time,

     I can assure all of you 1 thing, if you DONT bet in the first 3-4 weeks of a SPORTS beginning season, you will be alot happier,

    Things get much more idfficult over time, so, that being said, I bet youll have much more luck with bases come may 1st!

    Thru Thursday I have clawed my way back to 34-30, which is 53%.  Thanks to 90% of the plays being underdogs and also to reduced juice at matchbook I am grinding the books to a profit of approximately 10% of my paltry $500 bankroll.  Its unreal what the reduced juice will do for the bankroll.  I owe a big thanks to Vanzak for clueing me in on this little tip.  Now, if only I had a large bankroll.

    Not bad. But, was wondering what strategy exactly you were using to determine when to start fading on wagerline.

    Elithepunk, I am just doing exactly what ColonelDave suggested in the first post of this thread.  Thru Saturday now and I am 37-36.  Something interesting that I have also been tracking, but unfortunately have not made a dollar on, is fading all picks on survivor contestants with at least 9 wins.  Since Monday, April 6th, contestants that meet this 1 criteria are 34-54.  Its been so lopsided that I am afraid to jump in now because of the fear that it might try to drift back toward 50%.

    Ok, thanks for clarifying that. Now, about the survivor picks, do your numbers represent the 10th pick of these contestants only? Those numbers look pretty good.

    Anyone with 9 or more wins, all the way up to the #1 guy with however many wins he may have.  Each day I reset and fade. Doesnt matter whether they won or lost the day before.  Each day I start all over.  I dont even look at the names, only the numbers.  The worst day so far was 1-8.  The best day so far was 19-4.  Unfortunately, I have not taken advantage of this.  I am beginning to wonder if ColDave's system is just gonna hover around 50%.
