Ok guys just a little back story before i begin. Im in my early 20s, start gambling at around 19, and have been trying to brain storm my way to being a very very good sports better. Came across the martingale and its been an off and on thing with it. Until a couple of months ago a light bulb turned on and i kept thinking about it until i made it better and better. So i really want some long time gamblers to give me there opinion and tell me if I've covered every possible means of losing my money. You guys might end up trying it as well.
If you guys are familiar with the Martingale, this system does involve that type of strategy.
So in my search for people who might have been trying to use this strategy there is one thing that has always been the same among different people, and that is everyone uses teams they FEEL hold an advantage. I've also read about a guy that would wait until a team lost a certain amount in a row. With my strategy theres no need for that.
Basically where I get my Pick information is from a website called TeamRankings.com, if yu can navigate to the page that lists the team trends then your in the right place. That page displays all teams in a sport and their record against the spread. It also gives you a percentage format of the record so you can have an idea how that team is actually doing. They also do that for over and unders of that sport.
What this does for me is really give me a visual on how a team is doing a specific category. They also provide filters with the same information in categories like Home and Away records, Favorite or Underdogs etc.
With that being said i can really get into how my strategy works now. So basically after back tracking on previous seasons to see what the losing streaks have looked like for the top teams in each category. Ive found out that Football will be the sport that would be the easiest to make money from. Not alot of games and not alot of room for you to hit a long losing streak, so in football for the NFL and NCAA you can have a base bet that is relatively high. As for the sport that long losing streaks happened more frequently it was baseball that stuck out the most, with losing streaks that went 7-10 long.
The obvious thing in the observation is that the more games your playing the easier it is to hit that losing streak.
So the question now is how can i avoid that long losing streak in sports that have alot of games to play which would be baseball and basketball and the answer is to narrow a team down to where they play the strongest. What I mean in that is to only play with a team when they are at home or when they are away. For some reason in sports being home or away has had some of the biggest impacts on how a team can perform. So ill Bet like that as well.
Now when yu narrow the filters to teams and how they play when they are home you get records that are higher in % and lower in the number of games you would have to bet.
I FEEL LIKE IM TYPING TO MUCH GUYS
So since today is June 7th, basketball is about to be done. Baseball is right about in the middle of season so thats the best example, and what i will use as my example to this strategy.
Right now as of today The San Diego Padres have the best record ATS (AT HOME) which is 20-8. Which also means they have been covering about 71.4 % of the time. Since the begining of the season their longest losing streak at home was 3 games.
Now my plan is to make some guidelines to my bets. How does at least the first 2 teams that are doing best in what ever category im betting. If they fall out of the top two, ill start betting on the team that took the teams place. Ill stop betting on the teams that fell out of the top two until i get a win with them to bring me back in profit with that team. Also i would only want to bet on a team that is winning at least 60%.
I beileve this is going to be my best bet in avoiding long losing streaks.
Now this last note is for that dreadfull day that i do meet up on a long losing streak. If you limit yourself with how many bets you are willing to bet to chase and stick to it then it should prevent you from emptying the bank. With that being said i told myself after 5 losses in a row i will not make that 6th bet. It should cost yu about 30 units after 5 losses. If your doing this strategy with more than one team, you should recover quickly.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK, ILL ANSWER ANY AND EVERY QUESTION.
