a 6 game chase would absolutely bury one's bankroll if betting any meaningful amount of it, even with reasonable (-110) juice (some numbers are slightly rounded)....

game 1: bet 1.1 to win 1 = lose -1.1

game 2: bet 2.31 to win 2.1 = lose 2.31

game 3: bet 4.85 to win 4.41 = lose 4.41

game 4: bet 10.19 to win 9.26 = lose 10.19

game 5: bet 21.40 to win 19.45 = lose 21.40

at this point, using 1% of your bankroll per "unit", you've lost about 40% of your bankroll on 5 straight losses.

I highly doubt you are going to risk the 44.94 to win 40.85 required for game 6.
