First, bring your hands together as we applaud an amazing performance
by Philadelphia tonight! Our team absolutely crushed Portland on the
road by a double-digit margin! How is it possible that one of the
worst road teams in the league is able to demolish one of the best
home teams in the league in such an extraordinary fashion? It's just
the incredible magic of the system in play Curt --
the same magic that had reeled in hundreds of nonstop winners to us
day in and day out over the years without a single loss!
As you know, we paced across a slight bump on the road with Houston
this week. It was an extremely rare case where a betting series
continued even though our team has won its previous game. I must stress
to you again that according to my extensive research, continuing a
betting series even though the team you're betting on has won any
of the games straight up will vastly increase the risk of your bet.
When Houston won the game on 12/26 against New Jersey straight up
(even though they did not cover the spread after the 3-point buy),
their chances of covering the next bet of the series decreases
dramatically. The simple fact of the matter is that it's never a
good idea to continue betting a series in the NBA once your team
has won a game straight up, regardless whether or not they had
covered the spread, even with point-buying.
I've updated the NBA system to reflect this rare phenomenon where
the team you're betting on is a favorite of more than 3 points. In
such situations, you'll need to bet on the Money Line. You still do
have the option of betting on the spread and buy 3 points if you're
not comfortable in putting down a larger risk on the Money Line,
but keep in mind that if your team manages to win the game straight
up, then the betting series is over, period!
My extensive research over the years have consistently shown that as
long as you do not continue a betting series once your team has won a
game, then you'll literally win every single betting series you'll make!
This situation is further explained in my NBA system manual, which
I have now updated to include the section on betting on favorites
of -3 or greater. You can view the system manual at:
In the recent Houston series for example, the [B] wager would need
to be made on the Money Line. As it turned out, Houston outright
won the game and pulled in an easy [B] win!
This is how we will approach all NBA betting series going forward.
But I do have a question that I need to ask you Curt, and
this question is in regard to the record-keeping aspect of the system.
As you know, I've always been completely honest to you in all the
records that I keep, so I want to run this by you to see how you'd
like me to handle the situation.
The current NBA system as it stands, would produce a record of 27-0
for this season.
Before the Money Line for -3 Favorites or greater rule was added,
the system produced a record of 26-1.
How would you like me to handle the record-keeping aspect of this
going forward? Would you like me to mark the record at 27-0 since it
is the genuine record of the current NBA system with the Money Line
for -3 Favorites or greater rule, or would you like me to mark the
record at 26-1 to reflect what we've been through this season so far,
even though it does not actually follow the specifics of the NBA system?
The good thing about marking the record at 26-1 is that it reflects
the betting performance we've had so far this season.
The bad thing about not marking it at 27-0 is that it will create a
tremendous amount of confusion, especially to new system users who
like to back-test the system and without a doubt will ask "Why was
there a loss on this particular series for Houston when it should
have been a win?" Furthermore, it does not truly reflect what
results the system produced based on the filters.
One thing that I will not do is keep 2 separate records - one
reflecting the system results before the -3 favorites or greater
rule, and one after, simply because it will create even more confusion.
So, I have a few options here on how to go proceed with the records.
I'd like you to make a vote on how you think I should handle the
record-keeping at this point. Here are the options:
======================================== ========
A) Mark the current record as 26-1. Record the Houston series as a
loss even though it should be a win based on the current rules of
the system (This reflects our betting performance so far this
season, but also will create a great deal of confusions to new
system users who will undoubtedly question why the Houston series
was recorded as a loss)
B) Mark the current record as 27-0. Record the Houston series as a
win based on the -3 Favorites or greater rule (This does not truly
reflect our betting performance so far, but it genuinely reflects
the results of the system with the current rules, and eliminate any
confusions going forward).
C) Mark the current record as 26-0. Completely discard the Houston
series as neither a win or a loss. Basically, a "best of both worlds"
option where the record more genuinely reflects our betting
performance and at the same time does not create any confusion
going forward.
======================================== ========
Reply to this email with a either "A", "B", or "C". Yep -- all
you have to do is reply to this email with a single letter, either
"A", "B", or "C", to decide your vote on how I should handle the
record-keeping. Your opinion is very important to me, as I take
great pride in valuing your view on how I should keep records.
All the best, and have a Happy New Year !

P.S. My v2.0 NBA system (www.******************.com/165) just
picked up another winner! It's a perfect 14-0 for the season!
