Luckily I only got taken on Friday, some people probably literally buried themselves on a 4 game chase

I was going to chase them but so damn glad I didn't. I have no idea how anyone loses 4 straight at home to the Orioles.

I lost 1500 on lee, thought he'd pull them out, but their offense was a joke past week. Well if it wasnt their offense, it was their bull pin blowing it. Woulda won 1300 on their covering RL on fri night

Didn't bet any of the ranger games. Alot of people probably lost money on Lee. Seems like whenever these Aces start games their teams don't back them with alot of runs.

If you were betting a true chase system to win 1 unit, you'd be down around 100 units after that --
They spolied a couple of paraly's for me, but I more than made that up with hitting the two totals i played -
Rumor is they will officially change their names to the Texas Barreled-Ins

I think the bigger question is why would you chase with texas. Only do that with the best teams... Texas won't be around in October even with lee

So glad I decided to pass on Texas. I was one of the reds chasers but only for a very small amount.

I will say this again (posted this at least 20 times in this forum), even if the Yankees play against a minor league team, if the price is bad, the bet is bad!
Gambling is math, you have 15 games a day, why bet with such a terrible price?!
On another note, Texas has a great team, I'm still trying to understand what the hell happened there.

Look these words up for a better understanding...> fake, fixed, phoney, rigged, vacation, money, bookies, gambling...
Anyone who thinks a game is never fixed not saying you but they can look up tooth fairy, santa, easter bunny...hopefully no one is shocked here...

Texas is in bankruptcy and needed 1.5M to cover the additional cost of Cliff Lee's contract that the Mariners didn't send in the trade. I would say Texas banked the 1.5M

baltimore is just one of those shitty teams that shows up against good teams sometimes. Happened to the red sox earlier this year.
They will lose their next 10 games after a sweep of the rangers.

They got me, only 'cause my capper said to. I only chased the 1st two. Used my head,
and didn't listen to him after the 1st two games.
I think Lee should be fired and have him pay Texas for pain and suffering.

Chasing or not, it's immaterial. You could line up all the handicapping angles in the world and none of them would have suggested that Baltimore was the play on any night. I don't care if you have to try your center fielder, when you have a 6-2 lead and you only need one out, you have to find a way to win the damn game. Anyone who "handicapped" any game and took Baltimore did so by grasping at straws at a decent payoff, that's all. Please don't tell me there's any logic behind such a play because there's not.

Certainly, but when you see lines like -250 & -300; any capper would hesitate in baseball; While No angle would say to bet Balt , plently would say that any baseball team at that price is best to avoid.
