Tip for playing any CHASE System - Money Management Tip

[Sam Odom]

Set aside a mini-bankroll, say 1,000.00

Adjust you 1st bet so you can stay within the 1,000.00 BR for the duration of the system. If you playing an chase system forgetaboutit!

Put aside each win into a separate pot, do NOT mix each small win into the mini-bankroll subject to depletion.

When the system goes bust (losing the mini-bankroll of 1,000.00), and it will, compare the separate pot's amount to the 1,000.00 for a measure of success of your chase system.

Bottom line: Never lose the mini-bankroll & THE WINNINGS from the system chasing.

thanks sam don't think i will use the chase system but if i do that sounds perfect

[Sam Odom]

Rarely is anything perfect. This is just a good way to keep from going totally busted unless you bust out from the get-go. I've witnessed many chaser in vegas with many different 'systems.' Many do well for a time but somewhere down the line they go bust and lose the starting BR and all winnings. At least this way, a chaser will have meal money & enough for a weekly motel

My tip: Don't do it

Sam, betting with a starting bankroll of 1.000$.... How much do suggest to be my unit ?

Thx

[Sam Odom]

Bruno, depends on the vig and sport. For MLB where most plays will be around -180 then maybe 50.00. Just do the progressive math if you must go to game C

[Hawk007]

Don't chase more than 4 games. I think the ideal # is 3. Trust me anything over 4 games, you're just asking for a kick in the ass! Been there done that...

best advice is to stay away from chase systems unless you want to say goodbye to your bankroll

Some chase systems are very cool. For example, let's say Red Sox lost first game against White Sox tonight. You gotta chase Red Sox for 3 games. White Sox sweeping Red Sox? It should be a miracle..

But you gotta be careful when picking your spots. For example, Yanks can get swept at home by Red Sox or Angels but they can't get swept at home easily by lowly A's or Orioles..

You won't make it far on $50 increments with a bankroll of $1,000. Been there, done that.

I did not do the precise math when I said 50.00 just did it in my cloudy head but have now

If winning (Clearing) 50.00 per win is the goal then it would take a BR of $1,048.00 to do a 3 level martingale at -180
