Totals Progressions

[Turbo1776]

Here we go! I have not posted in a couple of years, but still been around. I have been doing well with totals, so I will stick to those. Mostly, I will be playing one total a day. However, when we have day games going, I may play one day and then one night game. Most posts will come out at least a couple of hours before game time. I know others like to get picks in early like myself and not have to wait around all day, especially if doing a progression.

The picks will be in an ABCD format. A bet: to win $100 B bet: to win $200 C bet: to win $400 D bet: to win $800

I know this isn't truly winning $100 with each bet, but this method of betting minimizes losses if we lose all 4 and reduces trying to calculate each bet. I am sure many like myself want a simple system. This saves myself and any others from asking what each bet should be exactly each time since I may not have time to answer it.

If you do not feel comfortable doing this format, then you can just play the games without progressing. Also, if you like the progressive method and willing to risk more, then just bet to win $100 each time plus the loss or losses previously encountered.

I will always play totals at a flat number, so it is important to buy the 1/2 run hook and not get beat by a 1/2 run.

I have been doing this for about a month now and have seen impressive results. So good luck to us!

Thanks Sunshine! I generally look for at least 60% of the public on one side and for the total to move a 1/2 run in the opposite direction from the opening line most likely due to sharp money. However, when doing progressions, I have to look into which line seems more fishy, logical, extremely lopsided on bets, and if there was a pitching change when I have 2 or more lines that meet the above criteria. If you do not want to do progressions, just pick all games that meet the criteria, but be careful that it didn't move due to a pitching change. Sometimes, I will go off a hunch like my last bet, which was a mistake, thus a loss. I won't be doing that again. Sometimes, I will take the bet with 60% and no line move though on big tv games or primetime games like tonight. Usually, most of the qualified plays will be on under the total, since the public likes favorites.

I woke up this morning and realized we got a push. I thought for sure after I went to bed figuring we were taking a loss after 8 runs were already scored by the 5th inning that it was all over. I am relieved now and think it may be best to take a break for a while and take a closer look at things. Will just follow some others in the meantime.

ABCD: 4-4 +28

 

[KingEleven]

Have a good break. Good luck on the follow.
