ChiTownEntourage's NBA Chase for $50,000

n1co35 · 11-17-09, 10:50 PM

BOL on the 3rd bet.

like the pick.

mikey360 · 11-17-09, 11:34 PM

Damn, Lakers came out cold in the 1st.

GL on the next chase. I think you had the right game and tried to out think yourself with the 1st Qtr bet. Too hard to cap qtrs. The NBA is up and down so much. A team can be up 10 then down 10 and still win by 10. Look at your last 3rd bet the Raptors. they looked dead but pulled it out in the 4th. I have burned myself so many times with 1st half bets that I rarely make them any more. Best of luck again on the next chase but I would suggest sticking to games.

Well that being said... if you win its a "GREAT CALL" if you lose its a "BAD CALL" and I don't recommend 1st quarter or 1st half bets. In the end it's really hard not to lose 3 games straight. No matter what your picking just look at the odds against you. IMHO

What Now

Hey Chi what do we do now?

Sorry, I"m sure you feel as bad as we do.
Martingale Its TOUGH. You have to ask yourself,have I ever won 3 games in a row
If you have, that means you can lose 3 games in a row.

Godspeed

Make some DOOOOOUGH!

Good luck ChiTown!!! Neithr on of my books let me play quarters, so I have to make another call. I am playing Sac+3 at my books as my #3 play.

Could not pull the trigger on this one. Not comfortable playing my own pick on a third bet

so I held off until the next bet.

scratbandit · 11-18-09, 11:24 AM

Well lets jump back on the horse and lets take the Dallas mavericks at home against the san antonio. GO DALLAS on the moneyline!

ChiTownEntourage · 11-18-09, 06:27 PM

Crushing loss last night...Lakers 23 Pistons 22

13-8-1

Active Bankroll - $2,000.00

Total Bankroll - $2,000.00

ChiTownEntourage · 11-18-09, 06:32 PM

Were not going to let that chase loss hold us back. Were going to get back on track and hit that next chase level with just 2-3 extra plays from where we would have been if we won yesterday. Here is how I plan to get us to Chase level 3. At this point I dont see any point rebanking for another $1000 and going 4x...if that chase losses this thing is going to be pretty much done for. So we are rebanking the remainder of the Total bankroll and gunning for $5,000. This should take about 13 plays. There is also a new rule...no Quarter lines on 2nd or 3rd bets. Whoever said it was right, I completly overthought the last play and ended up paying for it BIG! Had it narrowed down to 3 plays last night and ended up choosing the only one that didnt cover...blah! Anyways here comes tonights play!

ChiTownEntourage · 11-18-09, 06:33 PM

Tonights play is...

1st Bet (based of $2000 Active Bankroll)

Washington Wizards ML

$172.27(+160)

ChiTownEntourage · 11-18-09, 06:34 PM

If Wizards win this one there most likely will be another play tonight, so stay tuned...

SimonSayz · 11-18-09, 06:34 PM

Chi....do you ever consider totals or team totals? I pay pretty close attention to the hawks. If the cavs can drop over 100 at miami, the hawks are sure to score over 98.5 for the game at home vs the heat. Their over this year is ridiculous.....

Dont play our ML play as your third bet. Take the points or wait till our next play.

I'm not the sharpest on totals, but we had one eyed up last night that I just couldnt get myslef to pull the trigger on...ended up covering, of course! We will play these going forward if we feel there is value.

ChiTownEntourage · 11-18-09, 06:41 PM

Losing a chase absolutly drains the excitement and beliefe that this thing can even work. Been here before and still get the same feelings. Gotta keep your heads up and keep your eyes on the prize. The most important thing is that we dont make the same mistakes again. Hence the new rule!

mikeveli20 · 11-20-09, 09:47 PM

Hopefully Bobcats can get it together in the 2nd half or we'll be facing our 3rd C bet in the last two weeks.

mikey360 · 11-20-09, 10:32 PM

If the next game loses will it be the end or do you still have a part of your BR left to continue?

DinamoManiac · 11-21-09, 01:07 AM

joanapoker · 11-21-09, 07:46 AM
