Post All-Star Home System

Not sure if anyone remembers a thread a started on here last year called the post All-Star home system.   It's a 6-game chase system, although I'm going to cut it to 4 games this season due to the massive amount you would have to wager on the final 2 games.

Chase systems - There are some who despise them and say they will kill a bankroll.  If you manage properly and sometimes even take losses, you can do fine.  For nearly 3 years I've run out a home chase system and consistently turned a profit of between $500 to $1000 per week.  Plenty of ups and down though.

Post All-Star Home System -  Team must be at least 10 games over .500 at the All-Star break.   When the team starts a homestand of at least 6 games you chase them to win 1 game.  When you get a win, you're done.  Must start at the beginning.

Positives - We'll be dealing with good teams here. As of today, the qualifying teams would be Red Sox, Yankees, Rays, Phillies, Braves, and Giants.  Rays and Giants may be a no go depending on what happens this weekend.

Negatives -  Often very high juice.  I've thought about researching to see what the record would be using the run line.

I've researched this system back to 1999.  The record is a perfect 404-0.  I'll show a breakdown below of when each series finishes.

            Record   GM 1     GM 2    GM 3    GM 4    GM 5    GM 6
2010   44-0            24      11         7            2
2009   26-0            13      10         1            2
2008   30-0            21        7         2
2007   32-0            21        5         4            1           1
2006   28-0           16         8         4
2005   31-0           15       12         4
2004   21-0            9        11         1
2003   36-0           25         5         5                         1
2002   41-0           24       12         4           1
2001   45-0           22       19         3                         1
2000   33-0           17        11        3           2
1999   36-0           28         6         1                         1

TOTAL  404-0    235     117      40            8          4

As you can see, the results don't lie.  So, if I would've cut the chase after 4 games I would've endured 4 losses.  Still making money.  Everyone has different betting methods (labby line, martingale). I've used the martingale just cause it's what I'm comfortable with. 

At the end of the season, I would advise checking lineups.  For example, in 2009 I believe the Red Sox were basically throwing out a minor league lineup the last week of the season and went to four games.

I liked posting my picks last season and talking with people on a daily basis.  Hell, I'm no promoter or tout.  I do well with my picks in all sports.  And I have no trouble playing high money lines be it any sport except NFL.   I look for winners and get out as I try to turn my weekly profit.

I also think it's time I take advantage of this social media bonanza and join twitter where I'll post daily.  Maybe I'll get discovered some day.  Hope to get followers on twitter (CKPsports) and discuss things.   I also will contribute on this site.

BTW - The first picks I post will be later tonight on the ESPY awards for those who have access on their sites.  People laugh at this.  Check my post last year here on this.  Let's just say I know the right people to make this work.  And it's all about making money.

Fully understand your thoughts. I'll just go on the research I did for the last 11 years.  One day I'm going to sit down and see when this system actually lost.  With that said, a loss eventually will occur as nothing is full proof.

does anyone know if there's any six game sweeps playing the underdog using this system just a thought.  the bets wouldn't get so steep,

Not a bad idea, although I've never used a labby line.  With the martingale, it does get extremely pricey starting with the 3rd or 4th game. Not going beyond four games this season.  Rarely reaches that far anyway.

I'm going to use a 4-game chase.  For all the naysayers, the record speaks for itself. And I've only researched back to 1999.  With that said, a loss will eventually occur.  

Follow me on twitter @CKPsports  -  Hope everyone got in their ESPY plays.  Free money!

CKP22,

Wouldn't the teams that qualify for this system this year be the Yankees, Red Sox, Rangers, Phillies, Braves & Giants?  The Rays aren't 10 games over .500, so they shouldn't qualify.

Are you planning on posting the plays for this system in this thread?

Thanks. Didn't know that.  Won't happen again.

Giants were a winner on Game 1 Monday night against the Dodgers.  We have the Yankees, Red Sox and Rangers all starting up Friday night.
