are you strong enough to fight that bad move and NOT do it or do you give in many times and hope for the best?

Now YES...4-5 years ago NO...dropping 5 dimes on a chasing binge will eventually take its toll....its been a long time since I have done anything that stupid.

i've done both. obviously, not chasing is the right move.

so is saying things like "no, i dont want another beer...i have to get up early and do a bunch of yard work tomorrow".

sometimes, we make the wrong choice. most of the time...we pay the price.

all depends on your bankroll i guess and how much you like the game you want to play. Some will chase on the next game going off cause thats quick.

I chased once, lost, and never did it again.

I hate to say it but I have several times. Probably have a 50/50 success ratio.

im not a chaser most months but Im semi chasing tonight with SD to go under for 6 units and not 2 units.

MAdCAPPER will not lose 10 in a row...... I know the SD Pitt players have no idea that the MADCAPPER is in a streak and anything can happen. I liked the game anyway under 8 -120 and just think it has 4-2 written all over it it it.

but I would not double chase like then try to hit some crazy 10 unit game or something. im human and I make these slight errors at times.

I chased a few weeks ago. Decided to go for a big day. Went 0-7. Pissed off, and drinking. Can't lose 8 in a row, right? Made a huge bet on a late NBA game. At halftime, emptied the rest of my accounts on the game. (this became a banishment play, ha ha.)

By the end of the game I was shaking, knew it wasn't going to happen, you know the feeling. Had Seattle -5. Finally get the lead, but know it's too late. Up three, under 10 seconds, Knicks hit a 3 to tie it. Sonics dominate to win by 8 in OT. Easy Winner! ha ha. Thanks Ray Allan. Almost even covered my -9.5 +200 prop, ha ha, but Marbury twice needed to score garbage layups, stat whore.

Took about 10 days off. Spent a lot of time thinking about discipline and money management, and how crappy mine was. Came back recently. Won 13 of my last 16 bets the last 3 days. Funny thing is these types of things only seems to happen when I flat bet 1-2%. The losses don't hurt as much and the wins still feel nice.
