LOL, you bet on the lower seed to win, until either:

1. They win a game, at which time you stop and keep your 1 unit profit for that series.

2. They go down 0-3, at which time you then switch to the higher seed

In the Atlanta/NYR series, I bet on NYR (6 seed) in game 1, and they beat Atlanta (3 seed) in game 1, so I got my 1 unit profit right there, and that series was over for me.

In the NYR/Buffalo series, I bet on NYR (6 seed) in game 1. I had to risk 0.59 units to 1 unit on game 1, and it lost.

So, for game 2, I played NYR again....this time wagering 0.94 units to win 1.59 units (.59 to cover my losses from game 1, and 1 to make a 1 unit profit).

They lost game 2, so today for game 3 I had to bet 3.05 units on NYR to win 2.53 units (I had lost 0.94 units and 0.59 units on NYR already in games 1 and 2, totaling 1.53 units in losses, and then 1 more unit that I wanted to win = 2.53 units). I had to risk more this time cause they were favored @-120 instead of being a big dog. They won today, so I made the 2.53 units, getting back what I lost on games 1 and 2, plus profiting 1 unit.

IF NYR would have lost today, they would have been down 0-3, so I would have had to switch to Buffalo in game 4, assuming NYR wouldn't take 4 straight from Buffalo to win the series. I would have had to put whatever it took (depending on the line for game 4) on Buffalo to win 5.58 units. Assuming the line for Buffalo in game 4 was +100 to keep it simple, I would have been risking 5.58 units to win 5.58 units on them in game 4.

If Buffalo would lose game 4, you would continue playing Buffalo, risking whatever it is you need to recoup all your losses + the 1 unit you want to win until they close out the series.

Once you win one bet per series and make your 1 unit profit, you stop for that series. Numerically it's the exact same way the MLB road system works, as far as you keep doubling up until you win, except that you never switch teams in the MLB system, and if you get to 6 straight losses in any series, you eat the loss and move on....whereas in the NHL system you would chase all the way until game 7 if necessary, and just hope the lower seed does not take 4 straight from the higher seed after dropping down 0-3 in the series.

Hope that makes sense, lol
