I can't read all of this because I am pretty sure my head would explode but the long and short of it is this...

You should only bet when you have an edge. If your edge is increased your wager size should increase. If you are increasing your wager size without taking your edge into consideration you go busto eventually. Does not matter how you break it down.

With a system you are increasing your wager without increasing your edge.

And I personally maintain several chases, but I do it for shits and giggles and I lose all of the time. Occasionally I will put away a ridiculous number of "units" which are actually a lot smaller than my normal action but it all comes out in the wash.

Till you understand you can't beat the math the man has on his side you will simply donate.

(don’t really need all the mudslinging!). I am constantly arguing with my friend about his so-called “chip” system. So I just wanted to sum up my own thoughts:

1. You CAN’T do it for large amounts of money period. (pocket change to get the kid started)
2. A team goes on a winning or losing streak for a “reason”. So regardless of where you start your streak, you WILL run into that bummer eventually. (see Houston Oilers, Oakland A’s)
(this begs the question, weren’t there any good plays during the 6 game losing streak? Didn’t want to jump in after Oakland won 11 in a row? Or go against them and lose the next 9?)
3. If you are only engaging in a 1, 2 or 4 chase system, then is it a true chase or more of an odds play? Or more of a hybrid based on “sports” information. Also sounds like a lot of WORK to place 150 wagers only to have one bust you!
4. Personally, I’ve run some of these. For example, Team A is the last to win a game in in baseball. Okay, you pick your spot and go for a small 1, 2, 4 and try to get their first win. (okay, I hear all the advantage bettors screaming right now). The reason they haven’t won yet is because they SUCK. That’s why they call it gambling. But hey, I’d rather try to win $5.00 here than buy stock in Bank of America.
5. "Friends don't let friends chase....ever" :):)

6. Knowledge is everything. From money management to knowing that Ryan Miller is out for awhile. Thanks again for the thread.

I know most of this was in regards to Totals, but I've seen those go up to -140, which could really mess up a system.

GOOD LUCK!
