Years ago I’ve came across, so called, 33% straight bet system. I’ve been using it for years and it helped me increase my profit. Beauty of this system is that you need to win only 2 games out of 6 to make a profit. That’s why it’s called 33% straight bet system. The system was designed for betting against the spread in basketball or football with fixed odds of -110 (1.91 in decimal odds).
In this system you place a series of up to 6 bets with predetermined amounts of X, 2X, 4X, 6X, 8X and 12.5X, where X is your betting unit value. For example if your unit is 10$, then your predetermined series would look like this: $10, $20, $40, $60, $80 and $125. Place one bet a day and as soon as you make profit, you stop, add your profit to the bankroll and start all over again. You need to win only 1 or 2 games (depending where you are in the series) to make a profit!
| Day | Amount | W/L | Profit | Net profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $10 | L | -$10 | -$10 |
| 2 | $20 | L | -$20 | -$30 |
| 3 | $40 | W | +$36.40 | +$6.40 |
Here we’ve lost 1st $10 bet, then the next day we made a $20 bet and lost again, but on 3rd day we made $40 bet and won. This gave us profit of $6.40 with winning only 1 out of 3 bets. Flat bettor would be -$20.90.
Now, let’s take a look at another example:
| Day | Amount | W/L | Profit | Net profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $10 | L | -$10 | -$10 |
| 2 | $20 | L | -$20 | -$30 |
| 3 | $40 | L | -$40 | -$70 |
| 4 | $60 | W | +$54.60 | -$15.40 |
| 5 | $80 | L | -$80 | -$95.40 |
| 6 | $125 | W | +$113.75 | +$18.35 |
Here we’ve lost first 3 bets and then made a winning bet on 4th day, but that still didn’t provide a profit for us, so we continue a series. At the end, winning 2 out of 6 bets gave us $18.35 profit. In the same time flat bettor would be -$41.80.
And, let’s take a look at final example:
| Day | Amount | W/L | Profit | Net profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $10 | L | -$10 | -$10 |
| 2 | $20 | L | -$20 | -$30 |
| 3 | $40 | L | -$40 | -$70 |
| 4 | $60 | L | -$60 | -$130 |
| 5 | $80 | W | +$72.80 | -$57.20 |
| 6 | $125 | W | +$113.75 | +$56.55 |
Here we’ve lost first 4 bets and won 5th and 6th. Again, winning only 2 out 6 bets gave us profit of $56.55. In the same time flat bettor would be -$41.80.
I hope you can see now how profitable this system can be in the long run. You just need to follow a few simple rules:
- Place only 1 bet per day following the series X, 2X, 4X, 6X, 8X and 12.5X (X is your unit).
- At the moment you’ve made a profit stop the series, collect your money and start a new series next day.
- When you start to win after bet #3, follow the predetermined amounts in the series until you show a profit. You will only need to win 2 games within 6.
- If you didn’t make a profit in first 5 days stop the series and accept the loss! You’ve lost your 21 units because you were on the bad streak, that happens. Just recalculate your unit value and start a new series.
