5 Run Chase 2014

[masterlocks]

Clearly you don't know how to read the rules.

You're actually correct but I think it is mistated in the rules tab. I believe it's supposed to say win by 5+ runs. I've been following this chase for a few years now and that's how its been, If you read the example it says win by 5+.

Also this on the chat tab:

Chaser	I've got Fade MIA as a play for the 5run today. They beat COL on 3/31 10-1, right? I've also got fade TB going game 1 today but they're just the 5 run chase, not the under .470
Tom	Chaser MIA won on opening day by more than 5 runs so their record was 1.000 pct; they do not qualify under .470 record

They won the opener 10-1

They won the opener 10-1

However their win percentage was not below .470 so not a play

Again..you clearly haven't read the rules.

MIA is not a play because their record is not below .470.
In April we only play the bottom 10 teams listed on Pinnacle's futures as long as they stay below .470 (rules line 15).

In the past we have played them regardless of their winning percentage, but I decided to change it this year to eliminate potential for early losses. At this time it looks like the right call because the fade-Miami series would have already been going to Game 3.

Colorado has entered the chase. They won 12-2 tonight and have a .400 record.

I also clarified the rules on line 7 to say "wins by 5+ runs" instead of "scores 5+ runs".

Good luck.

Define "solid chase"? There is no such thing! Is this like playing one cent on a penny slot and then two cents and so on?

Couldn't involve serious money or you would have your nuts mashed up like peanut butter in short order!

Oh..... Best of luck!

not really. Make your unit size 2% of your bank roll and you would have almost doubled your money every year (worst = 94%, best = 148%)

I understand that chases are not for everyone.

Good luck.

Sorry brand new chase player here. So if I am reading the spreadsheet correctly, we would play "on" Colorado beginning their series Monday against the White Sox?

No, we play against COL. We fade the teams that have won by 5+ runs. Rules line 2.
Play will be CWS on Monday, unless COL wins by 5+ runs on Sat or Sun.

Fixed.

I will ask the mods to change the link in post 1

OK, you tell me why Miami wasn't a play then

he may have been confused by the rules. they were not written clearly. hope it's better now.

 

[thebart]

confused still since this is new for me. is boston gm 1 a play since it is listed under the home fav column?

 

[Bart_]

Boston is a play in the Home Fav system.

There are 3 systems; 5 Run Chase, Home Fav and Dogs.
The plays from each system will be in column A on the Main & Caveman tabs.

I don't check this forum regularly, so if you have questions you can post them on the chat section on the spreadsheet. There are alot of experienced guys on there that can answer your questions if I'm not around.

 

[thebart]

will do. thanks bart!

[darkstar77]

Good start Bart..Im only playing 5 run and Dog chases but congrats on the Bosox.

 

[Ronian]

Thanks for the pick. But was Boston supposed to be played as a straight play or -1 1/2 RL play?
