Use the system as stated and use it in the NHL only:
1) Wait for an OT/SO game.
2) Look at the line on both teams' next games.
3) If the o/u line is 5.0 take the OVER.
4) If the o/u line is 5.5 take the UNDER
5) If the o/u line is 6.0+ take the OVER
6) Chase each team for 3 games (using the 1-unit, 2-unit, 4-unit method)
Here are the added twists...
7) If game is a loser, and that game also goes into OT/SO, continue playing old series as normal, but start a NEW series with that team as well. For instance, if chasing Atlanta for UNDER 5.5 in game 2 of a chase and Atlanta beats Dallas in OT 4-3, the game is a loser. Play Atlanta for the 3rd game of a chase and, in addition, play Atlanta and Dallas as 1st games of a new chase.
If you did this from the beginning of the year the series record is 213-22 (+59 units) not factoring the juice. Furthermore, chasing just a 2-game series, the record is 193-44 (+61 units) not factoring the juice.
Then apply the next stipulation...
8) Chase only teams that played the OT/SO game as the home team. For example, if Atlanta was hosting Dallas, and the game went into OT/SO, then just play Atlanta in a chase (regardless of whether they are away or home in their next game).
Doing this in a 3-game chase from the beginning of the season, chasing only teams that were at home during the OT/SO game and applying step 7, the record stands at 108-8 (+52 units) not factoring the juice. This means chasing the teams that were on the road are just 105-14 (+7 units). Using the two-game chase and chasing a team that was hosting the OT/SO game, the record is 98-19 (+41 units) not factoring the juice. Chasing a road team in a 2-game chase is only 95-25 (+20 units).
The system also does not take into consideration average goals scored for a team or against a team, so we are not excluding any teams even if they are the top scroing team in the league.
So I will track each of the four systems and give each a letter as follows:
System A: 3 GAME ANY TEAM CHASE SERIES (213-22 +59 units)
System B: 2 GAME ANY TEAM CHASE SERIES (193-44 +61 units)
System C: 3 GAME HOME TEAM ONLY CHASE SERIES (108-8 +52 units)
System D: 2 GAME HOME TEAM ONLY CHASE SERIES (98-19 +41 units)
Teams involved in a chase as of the Christmas break (with the chase # for that team's next game, date the OT game was played and whether team was home or away the day of the OT game): The teams listed should go hand-in-hand with the open teams from the original system.
Tampa Bay (game 3; 12/18; Home)
Calgary (game 2; 12/19; Home)
Anaheim (game 3; 12/19; Away)
Edmonton (game 2; 12/19; Home)
Ottawa (game 2; 12/20; Home)
Philadelphia (game 2; 12/21; Away)
Montreal (game 1; 12/21; Home)
Pittsburgh (game 1; 12/22; Away)
Buffalo (game 1; 12/22; Home)
Washington (game 1; 12/23; Away)
NY Rangers (game 1; 12/23; Away)
Phoenix (game 1; 12/23; Away)
Colorado (game 1; 12/23; Home)
For those wanting to try it, I would suggest jumping in on the game 1's and play very small per dollar units. Please keep in mind we are just tracking this at this time.
So the games on 12/26 would be...
1 unit - Pittsburgh (1) @ New Jersey UNDER - Systems A/B
2 units - Buffalo (1) @ Washington (1) NL yet - Systems A/B
1 unit - Buffalo (1) @ Washington NL yet - Systems C/D
4 units - Tampa Bay (4) @ Florida UNDER - Systems A/C (B/D has already lost)
2 units - Philadelphia (2) @ Chicago OVER - Systems A/B
2 units - Edmonton (2) @ Vancouver UNDER - Systems A/B/C/D
1 unit - Phoenix (1) @ Los Angeles UNDER - Systems A/B
Remember, we are only tracking. Big Keith and I are attempting to back test this at least 3-5 years to see if there is validity to these systems. Thanks man!
