1)     TYPE:

The March NBA system is a PURE FLAT system. To explain further, we have two different types of flat systems: PURE Flat and WEIGHTED Flat. Pure Flat systems are 1.00 units on EVERY PLAY. Weighted Flat systems vary from 0.20 to 5.00 units based on the historical data of the group (Money Line Range, Home/Away, etc.). We also have PROGRESSIVE systems that vary from 0.20 to 5.00 units as well. However the difference between Weighted Flat and PROGRESSIVE systems is that PRECEDING results (prior week, prior day, etc) have no impact on the plays. So there is no build factor or due factor, as there is with Progressive systems. That is why it is still a flat. However with PURE Flat systems there is no weighting at all. The advantage of the Pure Flat system is there is far less downside risk (each play is 1 unit, and there are far less plays). The disadvantage of Pure Flat is that we miss out on 'dogs hitting around us' (outside the range) when there are abnormal years. More info on the different types of systems can be found in our 
FAQ's section.

2)     UNITS:  

Our unit scale utilizes a base amount of 1 UNIT. This is to keep things uniform with the way most other services/systems release plays and to make it easy for everyone to multiply and understand.

As stated above the March NBA system is a PURE FLAT system, meaning you wager the same amount (1 UNIT) on every play.

Units     ($) options

0.20     $20       $100     $200

0.50     $50       $250     $500

1.00     $100     $500     $1000 >> FOR PURE FLAT systems, every play is 1 UNIT (your standard play)

2.00     $200     $1000   $2000  

3.00     $300     $1500   $3000  

5.00     $500     $2500   $5000

3)     UPDATE TIMES:

• NBA updates will be sent daily, at least 1 HOUR prior to the first game time. On days with night games only (most days), we will generally be sending the emails between 5 PM and 6 PM Eastern.

• On days with DAY GAMES (usually Sundays) we will be sending the update at approximately 11 AM ET.

• All updates will be sent via EMAIL.

4)     PROFIT NUMBERS:

Here are the profit numbers for this system over the past six seasons:

As you can see each season finished with a profit, and the average profit was +11.50 units. So if you use $100 as your baseline 1 unit play that would be an average profit of $1,150 per March, and a total profit of $6,899 for March over the past six seasons. If you use $500 as your baseline, that would be an average profit of $5,750 and a total profit of $34,495.

As you can see over the past four seasons there seems to be an 'alternating' effect. We are hoping that this is merely coincidental and does not continue this season. However if it does, we may take a look at modifying this system to account for that. Even still, the worse performing March was 31% and the lowest profit total was +3.25 units. So this is a system with very little downside risk and solid upside potential.

5)     BANKROLL:

For this particular system, since it's a pure flat and there's only an average of 1-2 games per day, a bankroll of 10.0 units would have been sufficient in each of the past six seasons. That balance never would've gone negative and always would've had enough to cover the next day's games, even in the worst performing seasons.

6)    HOW FLAT SYSTEMS WORK:

Flat systems are very simple, we've isolated the profitable NBA ranges (for the month of March, home and away) over the past six years, and we play ONLY the games that fall into those ranges. Because the ranges are profitable, a flat system virtually assures profit with very little downside risk. In the case of NBA March, a progressive system would be too risky in case it's an abnormal month and one of the ranges fails to hit at historical levels. After analyzing the data we concluded that a flat system for the NBA in March is the safer route to ensure profits.

7)     MORE NOTES:

• We will be using the lines from BookMaker.com to determine the games that fall into the system

• We will pull the lines at approximately 5:30 PM Eastern on days with night games only (usually Monday - Saturday) or 10:30 AM Eastern on days with day games (usually Sundays).

• MOST of the lines in our database (over 80%) from 2003-2008 are from CRIS/BM (same lines). A small percentage of the 2003 & 2006 lines were from Pinnacle or BOS. ALL of the 2004, 2005, 2007 & 2008 lines were from CRIS/BM.
