Martingale System NFL

[drklrdbill]

This system is on the basis of a team losing 3 games both straight-up and ATS. You then play them either as dogs with the points or on the ML as favorites (which happens rarely for a team losing 3 games both SU and ATS)

Bbuy half a point (.5) onto the point spread if your team happens to be an underdog with an exact spread of either +2.5, +3, +6.5, or +7

Week 4:
TB Bucs [A] @ Redskins +7.5 (B+1/2) 1.2u to win 1u
CLE Browns [A] vs. Bengals +5.5 1.1u to win 1u
MIA Dolphins [A] vs. Bills +2 1.1u to win 1u
KC Chiefs [A] vs. Giants +8.5 1.1u to win 1u

One caveat: He has not done this system before, it has just been back-tracked. So I'm going to start off small, if play this at all this week. Good luck.

The Martingale Betting System was developed in 18th century France. It was actually part of a group of betting methods that were classified as “martingale.” Today, Martingale refers to a relatively simple sports betting system that dictates when you win a wager, you bet the same amount on the next wager, but when you lose a bet, you double your next wager.

That means when the Chiefs are 0-15, they REALLY should win that last game of the year!

This is a very clever system - you obviously understand how the markets work.

The only caveat I would add is perhaps develop a method to determine the truly awful teams, otherwise they could cost you money week after week until the market appreciates just how bad they are!!

One more thing - I am generally dissatisfied with the cost at the bookies I play with of buying half-a-point onto key numbers as you suggest. Looking at this week's Bills game, to change the number to 3.5 from 3 would mean changing the percentage from 104.8% to 105.8% (5/6 and 20/21 from 5/6 and 1/1) - quite expensive. It just might be right in this game if you were playing the Bills, I think, but generally buying a half-point is an expensive luxury, I believe! Fortunately in this case I could shop around - several books are going Bills +3.5 anyway, with at least one (Paddy Power) going the usual 10/11 both ways at that spread.

Please let me know what you might pay for a half-a-point at the bookies you use.
