    I will turn ~$20 into $1417.50 with this chase system.

    Basically we have a line of

    2.5 2.5 2.5 2.5
    2.5 2.5 2.5
    2.5 2.5

    We try to hit a bet of $2.5 4 times and then we start the new line until we have hit all 9 of the 2.5 bets. If we lose we double up and then start the next 2.5 bet. After we have hit all 9 bets and have a profit of $22.5 we then start with the exact same concept using $5. After $5 we go onto $10 and then $20 and then $40 and finally $80. Once that is all complete we will be at a grand total of $1,417.50

    I know I am using a very small amount, but that is because I heard chases never work and this is just for fun.

    Its funny people always laugh at this type of thing, but if you go on a nice streak it can happen. My account was at $118 bucks the previous Sunday. The following Sunday it was at $3448. Took a hit last night and back down to $2408 shooting for the moon lol.

    Oh, nothing wrong at all with shooting for the moon. Just a regimented chase system has been proven to be -ev long term.

    Every bet is individual and seperate, just because you won or lost the previous bet does not have any impact on the chances of the next bet.

    Taking a small amount and overbetting to see what you can run it into is actually a very good strategy for most. You can make a lot of money during a hot streak. The problem comes that people don't have the discipline to know when enough is enough and pocket the profit and start over.

    I agree there is a lot of discipline involved when doing this. A few months back I did something similar, $200 and change to a little over 5k in one week. The lure of continuing this to a nice chunk of money is what gets me. I think it took me about 4 days to lose it .

    Still though if I am able to extend this streak for one more week with the same crazy betting it can turn into a sizable amount. 3450 / 118 is a 29x multiple. 29 x 3400 is 100k ish. I'm mulling over whether I want to continue this crazy mode and see what I can jack it to. After all, when it comes down to it, my real risk is only $118. Hmm I dunno...

    Alright, so we are $-2.75 since we played to win $2.5. Play for tonight is.....

    Washington Wizards -6 -120

    Since the line is -120 we will be betting $6.3 in order to profit $2.5 on our first series bet.

    How many losses in a row will you chase? Or once the $20 is gone, system fails?

    Basically if I lose 4 bets in a row I'm done. At -110 odds that comes to around $41.30. I meant to put $40 in the title.

    I'm afraid a system that can only withstand 3 straight losses is doomed to fail. Although it's smart to limit the chase. I laugh when I see guys chasing 5 or more losses betting hundreds, trying to win $5.

    The only system that works is straight bet everything, never chase, bet when there is an edge.

    Lunch costs $2.50 why give them more to buy more? Then he would end up looking like JJ gold or a few others on here.
