I've been on a pretty good run lately, so I'm due for a bad night. I'm about $60 from level 19...

Tonight I have the following for 1u each:

Orl/LAL under 214

Orl +4.5

Ind/Tor under 2.13.5

The Orlando side play I got at -105 and the others are at -110... Today is the 16th and I started this level (18) on the 12th! I may complete this level within a week. That's killer. I dont expect that to happen with every level of course. As I said before, if I can complete a level every three weeks I'll be happy.

I started this thread about 23 days ago and I was on level 16. I'm getting ready to start level 19. Providing I get there within a week (and I should) I will have completed 3 levels within 30 days. Nice! And if I can do it tomorrow that will be 3 levels in 24 days. Things are going as planned so far, but I've got a long way to go. I want to get to level 33. I will then have $31,561.88 in my account. That's a long ways off. And it's alot of games to get right.

PuckHog, BigStimpin... How you guys doin'? I hope well. Let's break these books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steel, I had a minor hiccup as I "assumed" I'd loose a week or so ago with Louisville hosting ND. So I went ahead and bet a unit and a half on another game. Well, Louisville/ND ended up in O.T. and the Ville dominated and covered. Ooops, I lost the game with the larger wager. Anyways, very minor hiccup. Bad Stimpin...BAD!!

I started this on 1/10/09 with $20. I am currently at step 3 with a bankroll of $42 and have my eyes set on step 4...$48.83! Having a lot of fun with it Steel thanks again and thanks for checking in!

Now, things can get hairy if you have that many games going. Say for instance you went 1 for 4 on the evening, now to avoid a complete collapse do you just play one game at a time and adjust your units like you had lost 3 in a row? Does that make sense? If you loose 3 out of 4, to avoid a tailspin, you need to get back on track by hitting one game at an adjusted and applicable unit play? lol, I don't think I know what I'm trying to say anymore. Hopefully you do. I'm afraid to go more than 3 games at a time.

Obviously if I lose 7 or 8 wagers in a row it's going to put a damper on my progress. If I'm at level 20 and I have to go back to level 17, so be it. If this happens too often, of course then the system just isn't any good as you'll never get anywhere. However, if you can consistently hit atleast 40% of your wagers, this system is fail proof. Literally fail proof.

I dont always chase and it's my fault that I posted the above when I shouldn't have. The above in red is not part of my system. I have lost 10 wagers in a row before. I know this happens. This "system" I have is nothing more than a "money management and goal" system. I posted it because it's an angle I have used before to some extent. That's all.

As far as posting my plays... I dont have time to do this and I'm not trying to prove anything. I'm just using this board pretty much as a journal. You can read and post, or ignore the entire thread. I dont really care what you choose to do. I'm not on this thread claiming a record of 30-3 in my L33 or something stupid like that. Sometimes I will post my plays and sometimes I wont.

The only thing I'm saying is that I really believe you need money management and goals to succeed in this business. And this is one way of approaching it. It has nothing to do with doubling up or chasing. You need to choose your plays carefully, and this system actually helps you do that. Discipline is huge in this business.

Forget that I posted that stuff about chasing. I should have never posted that and I apologize. That's not what this system is about. It's about using units and goals and setting the foundation for a money management system to achieve long term goals.

Let me guess. I can tell by your post that you're a Harvard grad? Am I right? You seem to be very intelligent.

Not the greatest of nights last night. I finished level 18 in the afternoon but then I lost two units in the evening (so I reached my goal, but then dipped below it after going 0-2 in the evening). I'm still going to use level 19 units today, and if I have a bad day and go 0-3 or something then I will adjust from there. We'll see what happens.

I have one play today so far. It's a moneyline parlay:

Phi and Pit... putting up 1u to win 1.21u (NFL)

Put another unit on the Steelers -6. Philly is not going to cover for me... I probably shouldn't have done this but oh well...

I shouldn't have put two units on Philly to begin with. Maybe this play will offset the damages. Maybe it'll make it worse. We'll see.

I think you have good strategy. most sports books have a limit on what you can bet on the over under. win loss and spread point. Thisw leads me to believe that if anyone is going to become a millionair doing this that they would have to have more than one system maybe even several systems like 10 or more and be on more than one sports book as I think most of them have limit totals on what can be bet and how much.

Thanks bud! Not that I need it, but it's still cool to see...

I lost three units last night. That has nothing to do with the system. I chose the wrong plays. Tonight is shaping better though. Still alot of action left. We'll see what happens. I'm expecting to net anywhere from 2 to 4 units. I have hit a wall here. But it's a small one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On to the next level soon!
