Up & Down System - Betting Manager

The Up & Down System

The up & down system is also a very good system for a straight bet. It is similar to the 33% straight bet system in a way that you only need to win 36% of your bets to make a profit.
This system is very simple. You will simply follow a series of predetermined amounts. These amounts are $X, $2X, $3X, $5X, $8.5X, $14X, $23X, $39X.
The reason we call this the up & down system is that if you lose your first two bets, you will start to move up or down in the series, depending on whether you have won or lost.
You will bet on only one game a day. If you lose your first 2 bets, you will only need to win 2 games in any 3-game stretch to make a profit and end the series. When this goal is reached, you start another
series.
How it works
For this example, we’ll assume that our first bet is $10 and the odds are always 1.93 (-107).
1) First, you have to place a first bet of the predetermined amount of $10.

2) If you win your first bet, stop the series and start another one.

3) If you lose your first bet and win the second bet with the predetermined amount of $20 in the series, you stop and put the profit into your bankroll. You start another series.

4) If you’ve lost your first 2 bets, you will move up 1 series amount after each loss and down 1 series amount after each win. So if you lose your second bet, your third bet will be for $30. If you
win your third bet, your fourth bet will be for $20. Your goal now is to win any games within 3 games.

5) Now, you keep moving up one amount after each loss and moving down one amount after each win until you win 2 bets out of any 3. When you have reached this goal, you have made a profit, and you start a new series with the first amount of $10.

Example
Now, to see how it really works, let’s put some numbers in the series and see the result. You’ll see that with a winning rate of only 40%, you always make some good money.
Day(bet#) Amount W/L Profit Net Profit
1 $10 L -$10 -$10
2 $20 L -$20 -$30
3 $30 W +$27.90 -$2.10
4 $20 L -$20 -$22.10
5 $30 W +$27.90 +$5.80
You see that with a poor 40% winning rate, you still make a good profit instead of losing money. With flat betting, you would have made -$11.40. Not bad, hey?
So, for this series, your goal is reached, and you just have to start a new series.

Now, let’s take a look at a series of 20 bets. Let’s assume a very bad winning rate of only 35% (7-13).

Day(bet#) Amount W/L Profit Net Profit
#1 $10 L -$10 -$10
#2 $20 L -$20 -$30
#3 $30 W +$27.90 -$2.10
#4 $20 L -$20 -$22.10
#5 $30 L -$30 -$52.10
#6 $50 W +$46.50 -$5.60
#7 $30 L -$30 -$35.60
#8 $50 L -$50 -$85.60
#9 $85 W +$79.05 -$6.55
#10 $50 L -$50 -$56.55
#11 $85 L -$85 -$141.55
#12 $140 W +$130.20 -$11.35
#13 $85 L -$85 -$96.35
#14 $140 L -$140 -$236.35
#15 $230 W +$213.90 -$22.45
#16 $140 L -$140 -$162.45
#17 $230 L -$230 -$392.45
#18 $390 W +$362.70 -$29.75
#19 $230 L -$230 -$259.75
#20 $390 W +$362.70 +$102.95

With only 7 wins out of 20 bets (35%), you end the session with a profit of $102.75. With a flat bet, you would be -$64.90 in the hole!

Now, let’s get a monthly scenario with daily picks just to see how this system works.

Let’s take a look at a poor month of only 50% W/R (15-15), where you would have lost money with flat betting. Now, let’s see how the system performs.

Here’s what a $100 bettor would have made with odds at 1.93.

Day(bet#) Amount W/L Profit Net Profit
1 $100 L -$100 -$100
2 $200 L -$200 -$300
3 $300 W +$279 -$21
4 $200 L -$200 -$221
5 $300 L -$300 -$521
6 $500 W +$465 -$56
7 $300 L -$300 -$356
8 $500 W +$465 +$109

Now, you end this bad session of only 3 wins out of 8 (37.5%) with a clear profit of +$109.

You start a new session with a first bet of $100.

9 $100 L -$100 +$9
10 $200 W +$186 +$195

End of session #2. Another profit of +$86 right into your bankroll.

You start a new session.

11 $100 W +$93 +$288
