    3 line labby is definitely the way to go.  If you know you are going to have losses you should definitely play it this way...  Just my opinion of course, to each their own..  Depending how you do it you can win more also.

    At Wikipedia they refer to it as a roulette system...I guess thats the origin of it? Is that the one you guys are talking about?

    Guten Morgen Call82!!

    You are doing great,the most important for me is your % in right sides,65%!

    I noticed that you have different units in some games depending on at what point of the series the teams involved are.I have 4 questions to ask you about the winning units,considering 1 Unit for each play,flat stake without playing 1 unit here and 3 units there,

    1.Playing both Fav and Dog as ML but with the same 1 Units each time,the profit would have been how much ?

    2.If you were playing the Fav at -1.5 and the Dog as ML how many would have been the winning units so far ?

    3.In case of playing both Fav and Dog at -1.5 then the units would have been how many ?

    4.In case of playing Fav -1.5 and Dog +1.5 then the units would have been how many ?

    Thanks!!

    Hellas!

     

    I can pretty fast answer all of your questions:

     

    I have no idea...question 1 might be the easiest one to answer but I havent checked that, with respect to the others I wanna be honest with you: Its too much work to check that, I am one hell of a lazy guy and I really dont feel like checking that...would be a problem to get all the old RL numbers anyway...I hope you understand...but just in case you will find out, I am willing to know

    2.If you were playing the Fav at -1.5 and the Dog as ML how many would have been the winning units so far ?

    3.In case of playing both Fav and Dog at -1.5 then the units would have been how many ?

    4.In case of playing Fav -1.5 and Dog +1.5 then the units would have been how many ?

    Thanks!!

     

    Hellas!

     

    I can pretty fast answer all of your questions:

     

    I have no idea...question 1 might be the easiest one to answer but I havent checked that, with respect to the others I wanna be honest with you: Its too much work to check that, I am one hell of a lazy guy and I really dont feel like checking that...would be a problem to get all the old RL numbers anyway...I hope you understand...but just in case you will find out, I am willing to know

    Just thought I'd bring this up. There is a site teamrankings.com that ranks all 30 MLB teams. It's updated daily. Don't know what criteria they use for the rankings but it might lend itself a little better to this system rather than subjectively grouping the teams as we're doing now. For example TB is #2 while CWS is #27. BOS is #19.

    Labbying this seems like the way to go from a risk management standpoint...I've always had a hard time figuring it out though...maybe because I've always read it in passing and never actually put it into practice with concrete examples to gain an understanding of it.

     The Labouchere system was named for a minister in Queen Victoria's service. Labouchere is credited for using the system although it is not known if he invented it. This betting method, also called the "Cancellation System," involves some record keeping. The player begins with a series of numbers – any series that he wishes to use. The series chosen will tally up to the number of units that the system player is trying to win.
          The player begins by betting the sum of the first and last number in the series. If the bettor wins this wager, he will cross out both of these numbers. If he loses, he will add the last bet made to the end of the series. Let's say, for example that the series used is 1-2-3-4-5-6. If the player is successful in canceling out the entire line, he will win exactly 21 units, or 1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6. Let's play our example out to illustrate the mechanics of this system. The "x" denotes numbers that are canceled out after a winning bet:

    I agree, KKirby.  I check teamrankings.com every day and filter out the bottom 5 teams.  This cuts down on the action a little bit, but I feel a little more confident not betting on bottom tier teams, although it didn't help with the Boston fiasco.  As far as Call82's system goes, as the season progresses I will lean more toward home and away won/lost records to evaluate whether a team is worth throwing down on or not.  But teamrankings.com might be a good way to determine a team's tier ranking, i.e. 1,2, or 3.  Any thoughts, anyone?

    Guys, the results you find when you google the labby is not exactly near the way some of us play it.  So dont be misled by what you find in the search.  The searches give you the original system and the bare basics.  There are many variations.  I use the 3 line modified labouchere taught by PSIC.  It takes a while to become comfortable with because situational questions pop up along the way.  It takes a little time and practice to master it.  At 1st it is very confusing, but it is really easy when you get it learned.  Because of the learning curve involved most people are intimidated away from it towards easier systems like Martingale, but man is it worth learning.  Look at my results here compared to the Martingale users.  I have played every play of this system with the exception of 1 extra win that I picked up on the Nats and stand at +33.5 Units.  If you just Martingaled the same games you are only up 16.5 Units.  I guarantee that whatever units Call82 backtested this sytem to give with the Martingale, it would be AT Least 33% higher had he done so with the modified labby and probably more.  The win percentage with Calls system is phenominal.  You can lose 58% of your picks with the labby and break even.  In taking home teams like he does you cant help but to win.  This system is so good he could sell it and make a killing.  With the right discipline, this is gonna be a fun ride.  We still have 10 days of April left and I am already at 33.5 units.  There is no telling how high we will end up.
