Need help with labouchere

So I been following: https://platinumsportsinvestingblog.blogspot.com

They are using the Lab system and i'm still kind of lost because of what happen yesterday!


Okay so tell me if I got this right, here is a real example of what threw me off.

Line 1: X-X-20-20-X-X
Line 2: 20-20-20-20-54-110

On line 1 risk 80 to win 40 on NY Islanders +1.5 -200
On line 1 risk 120 to win 40 on Ottawa Sens +1.5 -300
On line 1 risk 60 to win 40 on Edmonton +1.5 -150

This was the first day.

After lossing NY Islanders and Edmonton. They had:

Line 1: 30-30-40-40
Line 2: 20-20-20-20-54-110

But I thought it should of been:

Line 1: 20-20-30-40
Line 2: 20-20-20-20-54-110


Do I understand or did they have it right.

I thought you took from Line 1 or A. And placed that and if they loss you dived the loss/risk by 2 and put it back on Line 1.

I understand the inner and outer when it comes to placing the bet. But I get lost on how to build the line.

Thanks for your time.

Also i'm not bashing this site, i'm just trying to understand the Lab system!

I don't think it really matters as much where you put the overflow (lost wager money) as long as you clear the lines.

For example, you could lose $20 and put (2) $5 on one line and two more on the other.

You could also put (1) $10 on each line. The money is still there to recoup and when you clear, you will recoup.

At least that is the way I see it.
