ONE guy bashed you, Dub and the General and quantum and I actually stood up for you. So take it easy.
Tater, keep up the good work. I always look at your picks. ALWAYS. I may not play them, but don't think I have ever gone against you this year. I use your picks to put the stamp on my picks, if I have one for that night. You have a system and you stick with it. You have figured out what the rest of us haven't and you seem to be disciplined. Keep it up.
I don't think people 'get it'
The handicapping system is not relevant.
The key issue is that martingale betting systems are idiotic. Even the bad gaming authors who have little merit get this area right.
It's not even worth the time to explain why, this horse has been beaten to death. Seriously, has any veteran gambler not come accross the Martingale nonsense at least 10 times in his life, and done the math why it is a bad way to bet?
Hey, I'm politically incorrect. I'll bash this thread over and over and over, it should be as simple as "Martingale doesn't work...........we all know this". Get out the books to see why if you aren't up on it.
Let's move on people.................let's discuss the merits of the capping system without getting stuck in a ridiculous thread about whether to play Martingale. Come on now............

I've always strongly recommend subscribing to winning cappers.
It's finding the winners that is the hard part. 9 out of 10 are losers.
I always realized that somone giving out 54% plays was a guy who would make me way more money than the peanuts I paid for an annual fee.
58%? If such an animal existed, I would be willing to pay an amount that no one would believe was real......... I cannot even post it.
I understand the reluctance on this board to pay for any picks. Why pay when the posters on this board (sans the Martingale guys), are often sharper than the visible cappers who charge $49 for 1 guaranteed pick.
Who can blame them? Ultra frauds like JR Miller have big pretty web sites, with (gulp) testimonials, and (big gulp) documented winning records. Never mind JR can no more pick 55% than I can speak Russian...........

Fezzik is right. Even discussing a martindale system is a joke b/c it doesn't work. MIght as well be discussing a roulette system. And let me be the first to thank the glorius Tatehill for not giving out the ins and outs of his "quitfactor" formula so that I can enrich my mind. Pat yourself on the back a little more pal.
Let it ride road system recap
ROAD SYSTEM - +131.21 units
That's the way to close out a season. Houston smokes Seattle and we cruise to an easy 3rd in 3 win. We finished well over the stated goal of 100 units, and a typical $100 bettor would be up over $13,000! Hell, a $20 bettor would have been up over $2500. Show me something on the stock market with that kind of return in less than 6 months.
The 5-game series stayed perfect for yet another year. We struggled mightily in the first half of the year on the 4-game series, but only ended up losing 5 of those. I shoot for losing 4 or less, but we can definitely live with 5. The 3-gamers may have had their best year yet, only losing 8 of them and coming in with a tidy profit.
So, it's time to turn out the lights on another successful NBA season. I hope some of you were able to come along for the ride and pocket a little cash at the same time. Good luck with baseball!

My 2 cents FWIW
Martindale has been discussed ad nauseam for years and from having lived for over a dozen years in Las Vegas I witnessed a lot of system players and never knew a matindale player who ended up with the money. My advice is to proceed with extreme caution with any type of system that calls for the player to risk a large percent (or even all) of his bankroll at some point during the play. In other words caveat emptor - let the buyer beware with any system out there. There is no substitute for hard work and solid handicapping.
Take the Bulls-Wizards series comming up this weekend for example, I'm sure there are all kinds of trends favoring the old (Jordan led) Bulls that don't mean a thing today. By the way I like the Bulls -4 (anyway) in game one.
Best of luck, wil.

Despite criticism, I have played such and been successful. When you are playing a solid system which you develop, hear of, and track youself using as many constants as you can, then you do not need risk much money at all and you have several wagers working for you in a season. Greed may hurt you as usual.
What is the longest ATS streak for a side or total in the NBA ever? I have asked before. Never got an answer.
Thanks

Grab 1000 MIT geeks out of the library.
Run "your system" by them. While it may well be a longterm winning HANDICAPPING system, it is completely illogical to employ a Martingale betting system. If your bets win over 52.4%, but you overbet bankroll, you eventually go broke. Any of the geeks at MIT will explain why based on risk tolerance, etc.
Bottom line, non-math background people LOVE these systems. ALL (yes all) of the brilliant math people universally who do the research conclude that Martingale is a quack, leading often to many short term wins before the inevitable Titanic slamming into the Iceberg.
.........when asking a math question, one should typically look to math guys to find the answers, not "follow your gut" gamblers.

This is such a funny debate,,,, I come in here and BLOW MY BOOKIE to Space,,,, with a Progression Proving that they do work,,,, LOL,,,,,
here is the Bottom line,,,, if you are betting a Progression with NO STATISTICAL EDGE ATS then your treading on thin Ice, YOU are running a VERY high Risk,,, some Progressions work better than others but in SPECIFIC Constraints,,,
,,,,My formula has TIGHT Constraints worked into the progression,,,,, I have created a scenaro that works with a FORMULA AND a PROGRESSION combined,,,,
and Bosox you of all people should rethink your stubborn ways and consider the facts,,,, I DEstroyed you this year in HOOPS too,,,,,, LOL,,,, dont be a "Hater" be a man and realize I am 50 times the Hoops capper you are,,
I have to Laugh my AZZZ offf,,, at those that say 100% no Progression will EVER WORK,,,, those people are Fools,,,and I am happy to take their $$$$
good luck to all
