The Zig-Zag system may be used for sports. It is most frequently used when betting on playoff games in sports which play with a best-of series as opposed to single elimination match.

The Zig-Zag system works under the assumption that bookmakers and novice bettors overreact to recent match outcomes and that playoff teams will react to losses with additional motivation.

Whichever group lost the previous game is the group that you then wager ATS. But, on its own, this system simply wins 50.9% of their time.

The machine works better when the group recovering from a loss is playing at home, especially when the previous loss occurred on their home court. This increases the chances to approximately 53%, which is enough to be worthwhile and profitable. To improve chances, add more filters to locate home teams which lost their last match by 3+ points and who won at least 60% of their matches through the normal season.

If this scenario present, the odds of winning ATS are mainly dependent on the size of the point spread. If the spread is between -3 and -4.5, the bounce-back home team beats the spread over 58%. Spreads between -5 and -5.5 are not rewarding overall, covering at a rate of just 51%, however spreads of -6 and win between 62% to nearly 80% of their time, and that is damn impressive.

It’s also worth noting street teams that lost their previous game. When a team loses their last game on the street and also the spread is between -3.5 and +3.5, they do not to cover the 64.5% of their time. Consequently, if you find such a street group, bet the home team instead, regardless of the fact that this does not fit the Zig-Zag betting system.
