Need Hawaii

What exactly is the system Cannon?

[dirty]

some good shit here cannon

[BigIgg]

Is this meant for only Saturdays?

[Cannon]

Same system as the NCAA football system I play.
System as follows

Bet any team not in the top 25 that is favored over a team that is in the top 25. (5 units)

Bet any team in the top 25 that is ranked lower but they are a favorite over a higher ranked team. (3 1/2 units). Example say a #21 team favored over a #8 team.

Bet any team that is in the top 25 and they are a dog to a team ranked higher than them. (2 1/2 units) Example #21 team as a dog to the #8 team

Bet any team not in the top 25 and they are a dog playing a team in the top 25. (2 units)

I start playing this system Jan 1 each year when football winds down. I try to bet it every day. Saturdays have been huge in the past.

Sundays plays

Miami over Duke 2 units
Oregon over Ariz 2 1/2 units

[Cannon]

I have also noticed that if you bet against all home favorites from -1 to - 2 1/2 against the points and bet the road team on the money line it seems to make a profit.

[Cannon]

12-4-1 for the day. Needed Hawaii

[BigIgg]

So have you ever lost playing these systems?

[Cannon]

Not for the long haul. I won $21,677 from the SuperBowl to the end of the final four last year.

[BigIgg]

When you bet, is it 1 unit = $100?

[idiotspayforpick]

do you jump on the line right when it opens?

[Cannon]

Missouri coved easily against Kansas and almost won SU. 1-2 1/2 favorites continue to lose I think if San Fran covers they go 5-0 Monday. I am betting them for $50 a unit now and I will increase them to $100 a unit soon. When I can I bet the first and second half as well like today I won first half on Missouri and I have to look but I think I might have one the second half as well. Might be some value in putting a little on the plays if they are a dog on the moneylines. I usually get busy so I try to put my bets down overnight but since most are dogs and opposite the better teams I think you should bet them late if you can. I have done well playing some small round robin parlays and buying a basket in some 4,5, and 6 game parlays for the fun of it.

[Cannon]

Missouri covered the second half as well.

[Hoganknows]

Like your system--Started last night--which Top 25 do you use?

[ace rothstein]

have you tracked the record you did last year on this ? not units but % wise.....interesting

[Ags Win]

This is incredibly intriguing, Cannon! I look forward to watching it and jumping in if I can. How long have you used this system?

[Cannon]

I go to the ESPN site and pull up the top 25 for the day. It is quick and easy. In the past I have combined the two polls USA and AP you would add Marquette and Kentucky if you combine them. I have bet this system in football for about 10 years and baskets about 5 years. You might want to bet any teams that are 1-2 1/2 point road dogs if they are not in the above systems as they went 5-0 yesterday.

[ace rothstein]

can you show us the record of this system ...its interesting...but if you already have a record of tracking this for each type of bet....(pretty sure you probably do only because you already have a unit system )....can you post it........its tideous work trying to track the history of this...but this is what I got from yahoo scores and wagerline lines.......this is if someone was flat betting this system....


So far I have tracked January 2006
86-71 54.77% ...+7.9 units

[Bobby Bacala]

I am correct to say that Virginia -1 tonight is a 5 unit play?
Virginia is unraked and playing Maryland who is ranked 22 in ESPN poll.

[ace rothstein]

ah i see, all that work for nothing....theres some games missing some games added etc becuase I just used the whatever yahoo had as a ranked team....... please let us know if you have the individual stats for each unit bet
Thanks

There are a few questions about this game tonight....

#1. Maryland is #22 in the ESPN but unranked in the AP poll. How do you play this one?

#2. Assuming you treat Maryland as a top 25 team (see question #1), the play would be Virginia, except that Virginia is also a 1 point home favorite.
