Carolina came through for me and gave me one cash on my Proline rotation. Looking at my tickets makes me think about something I read in The Winning Strategy about how to bet 3 of 4 rotations.
I did a basic rotation with my four teams, which takes 4 tickets to complete(1 ticket without each team). The problem is that my lowest paying ticket pays 5.99 to win. My highest ticket pays 15.96 to win. That is a big diffrence because of the high Proline odd for Jacksonville. The book talks about balancing your tickets in a rotation so they all pay the same.
Here is what I should have done:
Ticket 1 Ticket 2 Ticket 3 Ticket 4
Proline 1.90 1.90 1.90 1.50
Odds 2.10 2.10 1.50 2.10
4.00 1.50 4.00 4.00
Payouts 15.96 5.99 11.40 12.60
Wager 2 5 3 3
Payout 31.92 29.95 34.20 37.80
This way the tickets have a similar payout. Clearly, if you wagered more money, it is possible to have a more equal Proline payout.
