Multiple MLB Chase Systems (+250 units in 2012)

[calebepley93]

I was following the system of chasing all the overs to start the season and got interested in finding a pattern. I looked at a few things from last season.

First, I bet the other side when an O/U went two games. I ended with 490-6, yielding a bit of a profit. However, far too many chases went to four or more games and I don't own an oil well.

Next came three games. That was 253-3. Again, some profit and there were fewer long chases but the end game is close to being the same.

I noticed that most of the failures seemed to come on the under, so I looked at taking the under after three straight overs. The current AL teams went 106-0 with four four-game chases. Not bad if you can stand the drama.

The NL was another matter. While the six-game chase was 124-1, there were nine chases of four, three of five and one failure. The Rockies went on a over tear. You would have gone 230-1 but the excitement is a bit too much for me.

As someone noted here or elsewhere, you might take teams after they have a five or six game streak. OTOH, I have Detroit and Seattle with two loses, but I think they were both unders. Just a little bit of amateur research.

Interesting.. were you to end the chases after three games you would've profited around 100 units. Ending after 4 games would've netted you around 170. (this is if my math is correct.)

I was thinking about doing something like this in the NFL/NBA next year. When a team wins or loses three straight ATS I would begin a three game chase fading against their streaks. A series loss would only be around 8-9 units.

I think this works because oddsmakers realize they are overvaluing/undervaluing certain teams and adjust accordingly. Just my theory doe, I might start a separate thread to track this.

Regular Chase Play 4/3/13

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the multiple replies, I wanted to separate out the plays and I've got a regular 4 game chase starting today. Here goes!

4 game chase play:
#1: Oakland -148 (148/100) for Game 1

Lots of plays today, hopefully we can close out these chases...

For what it's worth, I will be at the Dodgers game tonight! Very excited about it, hoping for a high scoring game for the excitement as well as our Over bet! They finally renovated the stadium, so I get to check out the improvements they made. Anywho, just wanted to share my thoughts and plans for the evening.

Good Luck Everyone!!

Hey TDK, I think the record for the over chase game 1 should read 12 and game 2 should be only 2 (the SEA/OAK game)

[TheDarkKnight01]

Ahh you're right, sorry about that. Record has been updated. I accidentally counted the BAL/TB as a game 2 win when it was really a game 1 win.

Thanks for catching that!

[wizcodlifa]

just saw this thread. gonna follow. got a low unit size. prolly 10 bucks. just seeing how this works. should i start with A bets. or do all them to start?

I recommend the regular chases and skip the over/unders. Please read the parts about money management though, it's important. Good luck with whatever you decide.

[RaleighDevil]

The KC/Chicago game was so irritating because there was a fly ball right after the runner on third was out trying to come home on a short wild pitch.

[skyscrapers]

Goddam...base-loaded with 1 out and no runs are scored at Minny

[knugen]

Damn, tough start on the night

[TheDarkKnight01]

seriously, I was thinking the same thing! Thankfully Twins came thru and we got the over for that one. Yesterday's KC/CWS game got me a little irritated...4 home runs and plenty of other opportunities to score yet they only managed 7 runs!? Owell, that's baseball for ya. Hopefully the bounces come our way down the road...

was gamecasting the CHC/PIT game earlier, was really hoping Marmol would get us at least a push while I was crossing my fingers for a walkoff HR lol.

Need MIA/WAS to keep up the scoring!

[samrock67]

Not doing the Over chase but congrats to clearing 2 more off the board and for starting off 2-0 on the regular chases

Cheers, TDK. Looking forward to tailing you this season.

[kcava]

Trying to keep a spreadsheet that simply tracks last 10-15 win/loss, home/away, over/under for each team. Is there an online resource / website that does this so I don't have to manually do it every day that anyone knows about?

samrock, thanks man appreciate it.

kcava, try scores and odds . com, i hope that helps.

[808bases]

Hey TDK I know you're not giving out your system but with time zone differences and work and such I seem to miss these sometimes. Any possibility you could post the night before? Nickel lines from 5dimes too if you put it in the night before

[mrk77]

Checking in. From what I understand we only play the over chase and not the under, right?

[TheDarkKnight01]

808bases, i'll try my best....

mrk77 that is correct, I play the over chase for half of the regular amount.

Will have plays posted in 1.5 hours or so, these dang early games are throwing me off.

thanks buddy!

TDK - On your chases, do you play the listed pitches or action? Sorry if this has been asked before. Thanks.

[TheDarkKnight01]

TDK - On your chases, do you play the listed pitches or action? Sorry if this has been asked before. Thanks.

It will always be ACTION. good luck!

[skyscrapers]

That's except if you have to buy down to a certain number. For example tonight SEA/CWS I wasn't able to find o8 anymore so I bought it down from 8.5 to 8. In that case the only option is with listed pitchers. I'm comfortable buying down only because this is a chase system.

[Yazworm91]

Hey everyone. Good luck on your chase system. I see you guys talking about back testing at covers. Whats the easiest way to do that? Sorry for intruding in your thread.

[kcava]

Anyone nervous about 4 of our teams being in game 4 tonight? Hoping for a big day!

[samrock67]

I personally am not playing the over chases, but at this point most teams are getting to the bottom of their pitching rotation so you would expect more runs...

[michst715]

New to the board, but have been following multiple MLB systems on here. Big fan of this one DarkKnight but I do have one question. I may have missed it but are you waiting until all chases are done before releasing the next series? For example, KC/CWS series resulted in all unders thus forcing the system on to game 4 for both teams despite being in series with different teams. However, in the series that have won (hitting an Over) when would those teams begin a new chase (for example Boston/Toronto)? I see that this is based on your personal filters and parameters, so I'm guessing a new chase would start based on your discretion. Just wanted to clear this up. Profitable so far, keep up the great work!

[TheDarkKnight01]

good luck to us playing the Over system today. I was contemplating shutting it down last night with a small loss but looked at the matchups and liked them so I decided to play. Hopefully it was the right decision. I believe the reason the chase goes 5 games is because of the rotation, it's banking on at least one of the 5 starters getting hit.

michst715, there are no filters or parameters. For the Over chase, we are doing a 5 game chase for every team to get an over for the first 5 games of the season. Once a team hits the over, we stop the chase and collect our profits. And vice versa for the under chase. I hope that helps.
