Just a little helper as to how this works again. We are betting to win one unit on each series. So today we need to bet enough to win 1 unit bet plus whatever we lost on Monday to profit one unit.

Lets take a look at the easy one. Lets assume that you are a $5 a unit player for this system. The Rockies were an underdog yesterday, so at worst we lost $5. Today they are an underdog again (+116 right now). So we need enough to bet to win $5 for our 1 unit profit and we add our 5 dollar loss from last night to it for a total of $10 needed to win. Since they are an +116 underdog, we will only need to wager 8.62 to win our $10. Don’t worry about the math, all you need to do is know how much you need to win to get one unit profit out of the series. Every site I have been to has a “to win” bet option.

Now lets look at the harder one, the Padres. If you are a $5 a unit player, you would have bet 13.25 to win 5 on the Padres yesterday as they were a pretty big favorite. Today, we need to bet to win 18.25, or one unit plus are losses on Monday’s game. They are a pretty big favorite right now at -156, so we will have to bet 28.50 to make our 1 unit profit on the series.

Now, lets say the Padres lose again tonight. We would need to bet enough to win one unit plus our losses on Monday plus are losses on Tuesday (5+18.25+28.50=~$52). While you have already added in the loss from Monday’s game, you still need to add it again because you lost it again.

This is a good example of why you need to set aside about 150 units for this system, which is recommended at this handicapping site. Here we are in game 2 of the series and we are already betting almost 6 units, and assuming that the Padres would be similar favorites for game 3 we would be up around a bet size of 15 units.

I will discuss the system a little more in detail soon.
