I'm not even your friend, but chasing those losses is a dangerous thing. If you really were going to bet 4.5 units on the under earlier in the week ( I don't think you were) then it is a horrible idea.
One of the worst parts of chasing losses, is that you start chasing with stuff you wouldn't have normally bet on, and are at risk to really get burned.
If you can honestly say you would have bet the under earlier in the week, then fine do it, but I highly advise you not to throw all that risk around to chase losses. My 2 cents.
advice heeded....I am up pretty nicely on my book this year and I gamble on sports for fun. With that being said, It really wont break me to lose here. As long as I have a winning season I will be ok with it. Is it bad money management?...yes. Truth being that Financially I will sleep the same tonight no matter what the outcome of the game due to the fact that I absolutely wont bet over my head.

but if you wanted the under all along, then fine, but why risk pissing your money away on an impulse play, a play where you are betting on boredom, betting for fun etc.
I bet to make fucking money. I don't bet for fun. Maybe I am rare, but if you really want to make money long term, don't bet on a game because you are bored, don't bet big because you want to chase, don't bet because you want to win because because you know you will win.
4.5 units is probably your biggest bet of the week, but was this really your favorite play of the week? Do you want to bet your largest wager on your 4th best bet, or 6th favorite bet? That isn't smart money management.
You are an adult... I'd assume... maybe ... and you are free to do as you choose, but I don't agree with chasing a loss like that and offer my advice.

I did like it.....did I put a value on it Wednesday?..no
Like I said I bet purely for enjoyment, As of now, I am down 4 units to the book(this week.) There are two outcomes after tonight.
A) even with the book on the week (win)
B) Owe 8.5 units to a book that I have crushed this year.(lose)
In all honesty, financially I could care less if I was down 4 units, or 8.5 units at this point. Thanks for your concern. Hey, I like to gamble...what can i say?
