    We all heard of many theories and chase systems... I for one... am against all chase systems except this one. Last February 2008 I said to myself.... hmmmmm what's the highest public turnout besides the SuperBowl? Yes, you guessed right... NBA PLAYOFFS. Stats show... percentages show that everyone wants action when it comes to professional basketball. I'm going to try and show you a system in which if you had a heavy bankroll... and you can keep things simple... you should walk away on the PLUS+ end of it. But, if you screw it up... and start betting 2nd half lines... yes you're going to get screwed. Keep things simple... here's what you would need to get started:
     
    1. The maximum number of NBA games played on one day would be 4. So basically we are going to chase our losses... so you would need a bankroll to live up to putting 4 wagers in one day just in case of 3 straight losses. For example I will use straight juice
     
    A. Game 1 Loss $550/$500
    B. Game 2 Loss $1,155/$1,050
    C. Game 3 Loss $2,431/$2,210
    D. Game 4 In Play $5,104/$4,640
     
    Now... that means to play to win $500 you would need a starting bankroll at around $9,229... it sounds rather high but you could do this chase to win $100 a game for your 1 unit wager. I will be using to win $500 per day method. Remember... you are chasing your losses so keep this in mind.
     
    2. You are always going to take + the points in every game. You will NOT be taking money lines.
     
    3. DO NOT place wagers on 2nd Half Lines or any Totals!
     
    4. Once you win your net +500 gain. You STOP for the day! DO NOT PLACE ACTION ON ANY OTHER GAME. Wait until the next day.
     
    5. There are NBA games on TV every single day all the way up until June. So if you are looking to build a huge bankroll before the Football Season... this system should work for you.
     
    6. I am using 3 Grade A Sportsbooks while doing this method. I will not be mentioning any names. But I will say these books have very low juice.
     
    7. You can use this system for $25 1 unit wagers... $50 1 unit wagers... or even $1,000 1 unit wagers... whatever you are comfortable with.
     
    8. I am going to try and prove that having the NBA "FIX" in your back pocket during the playoffs can really extend your bankroll for football season.
     
    Let's see if it works... wish me luck.

    2. Utah VS Houston -1 To Win $1,000
    *Houston -1 is actually an underdog line to me because of Yao's absence and series price* I did a write up about when a home team is -1 in the NBA and in the NFL at covers awhile ago. I'm going to use the same philosophy.

    This is just a standard chase system, with no frills, or not taking home court advantage into it (besides it being figured into the spread).  Through 4/20 i think the strategy has only won two games betting the underdog, meaning that you are chasing six losers, right?  It seems that this strategy would work just as well, if not better, betting the favorite or home team, wouldn't it?

    I've got a strategy for tonight.  I am betting all the away teams tonight.
     
    I am betting one unit per team. If any two teams win, I anywhere from 1 to 2.4 units.  If three teams win, I stand to win up to 4.2 units.
     
    Spurs +250
    Hornets +190
    Cavs +180
    Magic +160
