Seems we are all coming to an agreement that being selective is a must with these chases. I am not taking every new home series starting today, picked 8 that i feel strong about, as well as chasing clevland to win one in the series vs. KC.
Good Luck to all.

Taking 14/15 plus Cleveland...plenty of time for me to chase a losing series team to win at home!

I will say this, I did VERY WELL last year, grew my bankroll 10x over by these 4 chases-

Home series Chase (bet on each home team to win 1 game)
Tomohawk Chase (bet on Atlanta to win 1 game in each series)
Redbird Chase (bet on the cards to win 1game in each series)
>60% HWP and >60% RLP (bet on each team that has a home winning % of 60% or higher to win just one game in each series, and conversely, bet against road teams that lose more than 60% or their road games in each road series they play in to lose 1 game)

It seems to me that you have to do this somewhat blindly. I do agree that I would not want to chase KC at home against the Red Sox. But then again, TB beat Boston last night so Boston did not sweep at home, which you might have thought going in.

I think you do need to look at each series, but for me, if I start trying to decide which teams i think will for sure win one home game, then it isn't a system anymore and it is me picking games.

I think common sense should be the best course of action.

One other thing I have found is that the home team has won one of the first two games a lot of the time. This week so far, none of the chases has gone more than two games. If this trend continues, I think there would be opportunities to pull back and lock in profit. This week for example, when I went to bed Wednesday, I assumed that Seattle had lost again at home to Texas. At that point, the 14 other series for the week were in the bag. I had a profit locked in for certain. Has Seattle lost and I chased game three, I risked losing money for the series, so I planned to just wait for the next group of series to start up and not be greedy.

That being said, the season is very young and we shall see. But the facts are that even the best team in the league will lose 50-60 games this year.

UT,

The question I have for you is this.

When you lose a series or two, you then divide up the losses among the next set of series, right?

So what happens when you lose another one?

And then waht happens when you lose another one after that?

My point is that soon, your goal of 1 unit is going to become 2 units. This then might even become 3 units, etc.

The dividing up the losses theory will work as long as there are no losses the next time around.

But, if there are more losses each time, then the prices that you will be risking will become higher and higher.

You will soon not just be chasing games, but you will be chasing money as well.

You original 1 unit goal is no longer 1 unit. It becomes MUCH higher.

I did the math on it, and it just makes no sense to me.

If there is something that I am missing, then please correct me.

Thanks.
