Here is printout from covers forum regards jm system:
Ok I have been wagering with this system from the beginning of the season, but I would never double up the way he says to, because if you buy 3 points at -170 and double up as per the system, you would have wagered $1240 on the Raptors in Minnesota last week to net a $100 profit on the series (that was his first C bet since losing the first series of the year with Sacramento, which he just forgot all about.....talked about how the bad teams should not be played in his system after the fact, even though he sent all 3 games out as a play......then a few weeks later, he's 10-0 or whatever....just conveniently forgot all about it....pretty toutish but whatever)....anyway even though the Raptors put on a furious rally in the 4th and won that game, had they lost, that 1 serier loss would have amounted to a total of $1900 lost or 19 units....so last year I think he finished something like 80-3, which does sound impressive, but is really more like 80-57 in terms of units.....still good but a far cry from 80-3.....
Anyway, I have been straight betting every game that fits his system and it's been very profitable and I only had $100 on the Raptors LOL.....and even with the buying points, I usually split the bet up, and put half on the regular line, and with half I'll buy 2 points (I just can't bring myself to pay more than -150)....this way if the extra points come into play at least I`ll split the 2 bets and come out even.....
His record to this point is 59-1 which breaks down as follows:
Game 1: 41-19
Game 2: 17-2
Game 3: 1-1
If you flat bet every game as I do, you end up at 59-22, which is pretty amazing at almost 73%
The point is, that you could only bet the B games, and I think everyone can agree that 17-2 is ridiculous....but do you really have the discipline to only have made 19 NBA wagers to this point in the season? Plus, the A wagers are pretty damn good themselves, hitting at over 68%, so why miss out on those?
The funny part is that if you did play it as he suggests, with the 1 loss you would be at 59-19, which is really not much different than 59-22 flat betting, except you have far less stress and are never forced to wager a stupid amount just to profit $100.....
All in all I would say that the system definitely works, and it makes sense.....when a team is about to go on a prolonged road trip, especially to the other coast....they are away from the comforts and distractions of home and are able to focus more....so that all but 2 times all year they have covered the spread in the first 2 games....
