Does the gold sheet give the % it hits?

Some decent #'s. Books must take this into consideration when adjusting the lines I would think.

They do. That's why you see the adjustment in the line shading the team that lost the previous game in most cases. Look at tonight. Milwaukee, Memphis and Los Angeles all lower numbers then in Game 1.

How is it doing this year?

 

[jesse1111]

5-1-2 i think

5-1-2 i think

Correct!

 

[oldmanTED]

Correct!

I should clarify the record somewhat. The theory uses the widely available closing line in determining wins and losses. So far this year, in Game 2 of the Milwaukee/Detroit series, +12 was the opener and available for quite some time and in Game 2 of the Chicago/Miami series +7.5 was available as well. So I'm sure there were many who could argue that the two pushes were wins for them and the current record would be 7-1-0 for them.

Tonight's plays would be Indiana, Chicago and Denver.

This is my comment in another thread started yesterday regarding the basis of the theory in case you didn't happen to catch it.

The Zig-Zag theory as presented by the Gold Sheet is based on playing on the team ATS that lost outright straight up the previous game, not ATS.

So far, the record you stated is correct at 4-0-1. Just wanted to clarify the theory as defined.

So the plays tonight would be Milwaukee, Memphis, and Los Angeles, not Phoenix.

2-0 so far tonight with Denver pending.

3-0 Solid night. Andre Miller almost ruined the perfect night for backers of this system.

Yep! The theory is currently on fire. Unfortunately, tomorrow I will be bucking the theory on both my plays. Always fundamentals first for me. But can't fault anyone for following the Zig-Zag Theory at the moment. Can't argue with 8-1-2 or better so far.

Who you on tomorrow Ted?

Probably be going against them. However, best of luck on them.

Zig-Zag Theory Plays Record Year To Date: 8-1-2

Theory plays for Friday 4/28/06:

Cleveland

[jesse1111]

Will be taking 2 of 3. Can't bet on Sacramento, just can't bring myself to do it.

Because LAL lost SU the first game of the series {even though
they won ATS} they were the play in game 2? So they were
the play ATS in game 2? And Phoenix is the ATS play in game
3 because they lost game 2 SU?

 

[jesse1111]

You bet on the straight up loser of the previous game to cover the spread of the next game. Tonight's plays are Phoenix, Sacramento, and Cleveland. I'll play Phoenix and Cleveland but lay off Sac or Play San Antonio. This system can work pretty well but can go 0-4 in a series like San Antonios, which will keep your percentages down for the rest of the series. The Lakers used to defy the system all the time when Shaq played there. The really strong teams will sweep and cover in the first round.

I've always believd in the zig-zag theory, this year it's really strong...I would pass on the really good teams like S.A. and Det though.
