    Home Fav Totals

    Welcome. Long time lurker, first post. Gonna try to win some cash. I have a theory to test.

    I'm going with home favorites over 2-1/2 (sometimes over 3). It will be a chase, starting with NO MORE than 1% of your bankroll. That can sustain 4 or 5 losses in a row, if necessary. Play at your own risk. Please don't be rude. We're here to help each other pound the books.

    I know many of you don't like chasing bets. That's understandable. I've had great success at it. My only big losses came from starting with too much bankroll or getting greedy/emotional. It's a long season, and I plan to be up 75 to 100 units by the end.

    An A bet is one unit. If that looses, ab bet will be one unit plus the A loss. A C bet will either one unit plus A & B losses, or just A & B losses, depending on the odds and situation. A D bet is only A, B, and C losses, unless some amazing situation presents itself. Remember, the idea is to walk away with the sportsbooks' money.

    Having said that, tonight is bet 5 of the preseason. Here is what has happened so far:

    9-24 Boston (A) O2.5 -105 1u +1u
    9-26 Detroit (A) O2.5 -125 1u +2u
    9-27 Carolina (A) O2.5 -145 1u -1.45u
    9-27 Dallas (B)* O3 +100 2.45u -2.45u
    9-28 Boston (C) O2.5. -130 6.5u pending

    Overall -.9u.

    * This was a desperate ploy. Too many beers and great sadness over the Cowboys' loss.

    BOL to all. Let's cash in!

    Trying my best. The goal is making money. Rough start tonight, but I'm hopeful. Jays cashed and the Packers are, too. Might still be a profitable night if the Rangers can turn it around and the Angels rip it. AL West is nice to watch right now.

    Like your NCAA football percentage. I'll chase 60% and above. I know nothing about hockey. I live in Houston, but I have my best profits on basketball. Can't wait!!!

    Who knew Verlander would step up when the Rangers need to keep their lead on Houston.

    I did the same and made a fortune, but got greedy and went too late in the season. First week of September, bankrolls back to May levels. Chasing takes INSANE patience.

    I try to set a goal of 20 units and once I hit it I stop. I almost cost myself 10k on one game a few years ago chasing. I was getting sick watching the game lol.

    My apologies. That should have said Winnipeg, which I was about to give up on, down 3-1 in the third, but came back to win 4-3 in OT! Now up +3u.
