    [7.21-7.27] ChuteBoxe's Go BIG or Go HOME Week 1 (-27.68 Units)

    Fell down to -27 Units this week. Had a horrible Sunday. Worst day I've ever had in MLB, money wise. I'm going to try to dig myself out of this. -100 units is my absolute loss limit here, and I think I'll pull the plug even around 70ish. Never been down that much, so I don't really know how I'll take it, but I should be pretty done with bases if I go down that much, considering it's usually my best sport every year, and that will be enough to get me sick to my stomach. Otherwise, I should dig myself out, and make a strong comeback like I did this year in the NBA. Starting it off with three chase series, and then after that concludes, maybe 1 big pick a day. We'll see how it goes. Anyways, as always, best of luck to everyone. Let's make some money.

    Blue Jays (+102) risking 5 Units
    DiamondBacks (+1.5 @ -133) for 5 Units
    Royals (-109) for 5 Units

    chuteboxe I hope you don't take offense to this as you've made more than I ever have. But it seems like the chase series are a bad idea. Not sure where you get the idea that they work? Diogee?

    Are we looking for another 50 unit play like you did on the nuggets at some point?

    Good luck today!

    No offense takin at all bud. I even said last week, that the chase series' were going to burn me at some point. That was this Sunday. As far as the 50 unit NBA Play of the Year, I highly highly doubt you'll see that. My unit value in MLB is way higher than the NBA, and I don't want to give myself a heart attack if I lose. I'll be back though. Don't worry.

    I'm on the Jays with you. Don't like the Cards or Nats today but I'm not against them either. They were no plays for me. GL.

    I think many would say this chase system is nuts... and to make it more nuts you keep chasing teams that aren't even over .500

    royals, dbacks, Giants,

    I'll update all this craziness tonight, but, I have 2 chases left. I know this was a retarded idea, and it came from frustration, and limited time to handicap due to my career. These two will be my last wagers of the season if I lose, since I tapped into football money for this year and had to make another deposit today, which I never like to do mid-season. Considering I get a bonus at the end of August for my job, I should be ok for football, but still, this season, and idea, has been a f*cking disaster for me, learn from my mistakes, and if I lose, enjoy the rest of the season...

    Yeah, So I definitely learned my lesson. This was the scariest week in my whole gambling career. It's either play big, or chase, not both. Especially if you're not a multi-millionaire, with a large roll, and a >1% per play unit value. Holy sh*t was that close!
