Can you explain what I'm looking at. I see your thread all the time but I don't get what all the X's and numbers with decimal points are for. And how you choose what teams to play.
Thanks.
Dice, you posted this weeks a go.

But here is my explination:
I'm testing this money management system, you can check this other thread.
http://www.therxforum.com/showthread.php?t=644194
The name of the management system is Labouchere and is a progressive system but with low risk. I was doing it one bet per day but it takes to long so that's why I create this new thread with more bets per day and creating a line for each sport.
The good thing about this is that you can go below the 50 % winning rate and you can be in the plus side. Let me explain you how this works.
First I need to know what is going to be my bankroll and then I take the 1 or 2 % to start my bets in my case this is what I have.
1.- (.5-.5-.5-.5) => This is my first line, and this are cents so in my first line I will bet the first and last number which are .5 and .5 = $1 dll and I get a line like this: 1.- (.5-.5-.5-.5) = $1 . I bet 1 dll if I win I will clear my first and last number and I will get the following line like this: 2.- (x-.5-.5-x) BUT if I loose I will ADD the bet ($1) to that line so I will get the following line 2.- (.5-.5-.5-.5-1) and I will go with my next bet betting the first (.5) and last number (1) = $1.5 and so on.
Now lets run the numbers quickly if you go 4-6 in your last 10 bets with +100 odds just to make it easy.
1.- (.5-.5-.5-.5) = $1 LOST (Bankroll -1)
2.- (.5-.5-.5-.5-1) = $1.5 LOST (Bankroll -2.5)
3.- (.5-.5-.5-.5-1-1.5) = $2 WON (Bankroll -.5)
4.- (x-.5-.5-.5-1-x) = $1.5 LOST (Bankroll -2)
5.- (x-.5-.5-.5-1-x-1.5) = $2 WON (Bankroll 0)
6.- (x-x-.5-.5-1-x-x) = $1.5 LOST (Bankroll -1.5)
7.- (x-x-.5-.5-1-x-x-1.5) = $2 LOST (Bankroll -3.5)
8.- (x-x-.5-.5-1-x-x-1.5-2) = $2.5 WON (Bankroll -1)
9.- (x-x-x-.5-1-x-x-1.5-x) = $2 LOST (Bankroll -3)
10.- (x-x-x-.5-1-x-x-1.5-x-2) = $2.5 WON (Bankroll -.5)
11.- (x-x-x-x-1-x-x-1.5-x-x) = $2 ???
As you can see you are 4-6 and loosing just -.5 cents and one more game to win to clear your line because if you loose one bet you just add that number but if you win you clear two numbers, the point here is to clear your lines and then start over, ones your bankroll is getting better you can increase your lines insted of .5 you can add .6 and so on.
Hope you can get it, if not let me know so I can clear your doubt.
PS
The X marks are when I clear a number when I won.
