Yeah I could bet straight and be up a few thousand at season’s end, but honestly that’s a waste to me. While winning $1500 over a season might be enough for some people (I would have been in this boat a couple of years ago), it’s not for me. I have a good job and make a very decent income, so $1500 isn’t going to make any impact on how I live, but $50,000 will. I am fully aware of the risk I am taking in chasing and I think the outcome is well worth the risk. I guarantee even if by the end of the season I am not at $50,000, I will be well beyond the $2950 I would make betting straight in your given scenario.

And that makes all the difference. As a fun experiment, I can see the appeal. GL to you.

good work so far.

Stealinhome · 10-31-09, 01:54 PM

This looks like fun I am in I just placed the SA bet BOL to all

ChiTownEntourage · 10-31-09, 02:06 PM

I had leans on Mavs -3.5 and Houston +3.5, but the Mavs time has come and gone with them now being at -5.5 and I just don’t trust Houston in this game. Another side that popped up on my radar today when the line was released was the Pistons. But I was on the completely wrong side, thinking the Pistons would be favored in that game (@Milwaukee). So I'll pass on that game and see if my read was correct for future use.

As for the reasoning on the San Antonio Spurs -9.5 First half...First off the Kings are playing a B2B along with their 3rd game in 4 days. While San Antonio is also playing their 3rd in 4 days, they are not on a B2B and are coming off a road loss they will be upset about. San Antonio will take control of this game early on both ends of the court. Now I don’t know how much to put into this, but my book also has the game line at -16.5 and the First Half line a whole point above where I think it should be at, -8.5. I would have to think its a combination of them thinking San Antonio will come out hot the first half and wanting to discourage people away from taking it.

very nice lets keep it going brother

Josu · 11-01-09, 12:07 PM

Any play for today?

ChiTownEntourage · 11-01-09, 12:54 PM

As of right now, there is no play. I like the Raptors, but the way the line has been moving it makes me nervous. I'm thinking we might make a play on its half time line after I get a feel for how the raptors are going to play in this game. So check back at half time of the Raptors/Magic game and I will either have a play on its half time line or a decision on a possible play for the rest of todays games.

ChiTownEntourage · 11-01-09, 02:23 PM

Todays play is...

1st Bet

Raptors -2 2nd Half

ChiTownEntourage · 11-02-09, 06:37 PM

Todays play is...

1st Bet still since we pushed on our last play

New York Knicks +3.5 (1/2 point buy)

$94.50 (-120)

ChiTownEntourage · 11-02-09, 06:42 PM

If we cover, there might be a play on the late game tonight...so check back if we cover!

ChiTownEntourage · 11-02-09, 07:03 PM

The reasoning on Knicks +3.5 is...First pretty much everybody on here taking a side on this game is siding with with NO. But I havent read a single one of them put a good reason behind it. The concesous is also showing that the public is favoring NO in this game, which is never a good sign for your money! NO is coming off a B2B with boston, now this was an earlier game yesterday and they really dont have much travel, but its still a B2B and their 3rd in 4 days. Knicks will be fresh for this game and ready to get thier first win against a team that they swept last year. Knicks are mad about the outcome of their last two games, losing both in OT. They will stay in this game and make sure they have a chance to win it in the final minutes. Either way, this game will be decided in the last few posessions and I dont see them losing by more than 3!!!

ChiTownEntourage · 11-02-09, 10:04 PM

ANOTHER PERFECT READ ON THE GAME!!! Knicks get the cover and outright win...117-111.

6-0-1

Active Bankroll - $1,175.89

ChiTownEntourage · 11-02-09, 10:09 PM

There will be no more plays tonight. I like the Clippers, but think it would have to be under the key number of 7. We'll take a pass and keep the streak alive!!!

Impressive record so far, good luck with getting to the $50,000 mark.

Arkwright · 11-03-09, 10:26 AM

Does anyone have any Tips on what I should back for the Lakers vs Oklahoma game. I don't really bet but want to try it a little this season. If I back the same as ChiTownChicago should I be betting the same amounts? Does it make a difference?

Pin Fish · 11-03-09, 11:11 AM

good stuff

trumpdown · 11-03-09, 11:49 AM

Hey Chi-town,

Can you explain this a little better for me. "If and when I lose a series of 3 bets, I will re-bank for the same amount as I started with last series and 4x it, which takes approximately 20 bets."

This part confused me a bit. Are you saying you reload or just begin again with the other half of roll, and when you 4x it are you saying you 4x it for the next 20 bets to get back to what you lost?

Looks very interesting, especially the decrease of % as roll increases along with increasing potential gained thru the chase.

joanapoker · 11-03-09, 12:12 PM

nice work so far! keep the good work!

Wolffz53 · 11-03-09, 12:19 PM

lackdaddy got me following now, im hoppin on the bandwagon to make that $$$$$$$

RedWhiteStunna · 11-03-09, 12:20 PM

trumpdown,

If you lose a chase, losing three bets in a row, then you start with the same chase amount you lost. Instead of 3X like we usually do, you go 4x in order to recoup the chase you just lost. After you 4x then you go on to the next active chase.

Hope that helps

Thanks RWS. I get it, so basically you stay on that level for 4 more chase wins to recover the loss meaning it takes 20 chases unlike the normal 16.

MarioBroz · 11-03-09, 12:53 PM
