The Zig-Zag system can be used for many sports. It is most often used when betting on playoff games in sport which play with a best-of series rather than single elimination game.

The Zig-Zag system functions under the assumption that bookmakers and novice bettors overreact to current game results and that playoff teams will respond to losses with additional motivation.

Whichever team lost the previous game is the team which you bet ATS. But, by itself, this system simply wins 50.9% of their time.

To increase chances of winning, the bettor should add more filters…
The system works better if the team recovering from a reduction is playing in the home, particularly when the preceding loss happened on their home court. This increases the odds to approximately 53%, which is sufficient to be worthwhile and rewarding. To enhance chances, add more filters to find home teams which lost their last match by 3+ points and who won at least 60% of the games through the normal season.

If this situation present, the odds of winning ATS are largely determined by the size of the point spread. If the spread is between -3 and -4.5, the bounce-back house team beats the spread at over 58%. Spreads between -5 and -5.5 aren’t profitable overall, covering at a speed of just 51 percent, however spreads of -6 and win between 62 percent to almost 80% of the time, and that’s damn impressive.

It’s also worth noting road teams who lost their previous match. When a team loses their last game on the road and also the spread is between -3.5 and +3.5, they don’t to cover the 64.5percent of the time. Therefore, if you find such a road team, wager the house team rather, regardless of the fact that this does not technically fit the Zig-Zag gaming system.
