    Would like to document a fun little system here that's probably been done before. The idea is to play 3 games at once using one lab line and treating them as one play.

    The lab line will always have 3 numbers (one for each game) and will be adjusted at the completion of the 3 games. A win of all 3 games clears the line and nets us 3 units plus the losses incurred along the way. If things get out of control with a line, we can always add a 4th number, but for now it's 3.

    I will be trying 2 approaches to this initially, one using favorites and the other using just ATS / OU.

    Awesome start going 5-1  



    Triple Play System Total   +4 units

    FAVORITES record   3-0
    SIDES / TOTALS record   2-1


    The FAVORITES lab was cleared for 3 units ($15) so we start a fresh line for that one. As for the SIDES / TOTALS line, we would normally take our net losses and add them back into our line to calculate a new set of numbers. However, in this case we will just bank our 1 unit (all plays were roughly EV money) and start with a fresh line.




    TODAY'S PLAYS:

    FAVORITES LAB (5-5-5)

    #1 NY RANGERS (-139 TO WIN 5)
    #2 NJ NETS (-236 TO WIN 5)
    #3 BOSTON CELTS (-320 TO WIN 5)


    SIDES / TOTALS LAB (5-5-5)

    #1 SA SPURS U212.5 (-112 TO WIN 5)
    #2 NJ NETS O192 (+101 TO WIN 5)
    #3 BOS -7 (-101 TO WIN 5)

    4-2 yesterday  

    Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

    Triple Play System Total   +7 units banked

    FAVORITES record   6-0
    SIDES / TOTALS record   3-3

     

     

    Swept the FAVORITES plays again, clearing another line and banking another 3 units, so we start another new line there.

     

    Since the SIDES / TOTALS went 1-2, its lab line now looks like this (X-5-5). We add our losses, 10.40, to the line total of 10 to get a new total of 20.40 or 7-7-7.




    Still waiting on lines, but will probably pick 3 games each from the following …

    FAVORITES LAB (5-5-5)

    IND

    PORT

    DAL

    ATL

    LAL


    SIDES / TOTALS LAB (7-7-7)

    SAC +11.5
    CLE +9
    DAL U210.5

    PORT U199.5

    and maybe LAC +3.5

     

     

     

     ... back later with the picks.

    TRIPLE PLAY SYSTEM
    +10 units banked

    FAVORITES record   9-0
    SIDES / TOTALS record   5-4


    5-1 with today's picks 


    The FAVORITES went 3-0, banking 3 more units and resetting the line to (5-5-5).

    The SIDES / TOTALS went 2-1 so our line there is (X-X-7).
    We take our one loss of 7.13 (CLE +8.5 -102) and add it to the remaining 7 in our line to get 14.13. Divide that by 3 to get our new numbers (5-5-5).

    I'll be traveling early tomorrow so here's hoping we get some nice, early lines. Picks forthcoming...
