With the NBA betting being all about spot plays along with over/under valued teams, I feel that chasing is the way to go to capture some of these advantages.
You must chase wisely. I figure it like this. If you straight bet at 3.3% per play, which is not crazy by any means, your total chase loss should equal the amount would you have bet those game straight up. That means a 3 game chase loser should equal 9.9% of your total bank. You are therefore chasing to profit only 1.198% of your total bank.
Here are the total risk to win amounts I will be using based on -110 odds
2 game chase = 3.41 to 1
3 game chase = 8.26 to 1
4 game chase = 18.45 to 1
I'll start with $1000 and make the appropriate reads and we shall see what happens.
