I am bringing the chase back. There is a play every day that is near a 50% proposition on a RL dog. There is tremendous value in these plays and I don't think in any way possible I will be losing 7 in a row betting these.

Chase Record: 33-0 +$661
Overall Record: 33-30 +1.67 units
Baseball Record: 25-26-1 -1.31 units

Leg #1

Houston +1.5 +100 SIA Risk $20 to win $20

can you list the bet amounts for the 7 game chase... how much money do you need to have to do the full 7 game chase if you start out with a 20 dollar bet?

Hoosier, how well does the sucker bet theory work in the NBA playoffs with regard to the half point calculator and +EV and so forth. I recall you saying in a previous post that you have had some bad luck in NBA games. I saw that first hand awhile ago. Just wondering how this does in playoff games.

Take your initial bet, it might be to win 10, 20, 50, etc.

Standard vig is -110. I RARELY play -110, but we'll use that as an example.

Leg #1 would be $10 * 1.1 (-110 vig) = $11

Leg #2 would be to win $10 + $11 you lost earlier. So $22 * 1.1 = Risk $24.2

Leg #3 would be to win $10 + $11 + $24.2. So $45.2 * 1.1 = Risk $49.72

You sum your losses and add $10, making this your "TO WIN" while the vig determines your risk.

Tim Lincecum is pitching against an unknown. Many will take the -160. Some feel it's too expensive and will be intrigued at the possibility of making him +100. That is the sucker play today.

Texas bet was canceled due to rain, starting over at Leg #1.

That would be the side to play (+1.5 +115 at Bodog). I'm not playing it. More interested in the total (under 7.5 -110).

Rays +1.5 was definitely the best bet. There's another game I like.

Leg #1

San Diego +115 SIA $20 to win $23

Going to chase with this. Near a 50% probability.
