You keep increasing your bets after each loss to win your losses back plus your original amount to win. For even odds, bets will double after every bet lost. Loss 5 in a row and your are betting 32 units to winback the 31 you lost plus a profit of one unit. Lose the 6th bet and your down 63 units.

I"ve had incredible streaks. to think you can't lose 3 in a row is just wrong. I've had 0 for 15 stretches and then gone 18 and 2. Thinking you can't lose more than xxx in a row is a recipe for disaster.

Chasing involves more than just doubling bets... It also involves picking the right teams to chase...and yes can be successful... How about a season long chase that worked by picking the right teams and adjusting your betting style? Click on that blue link in my signature and view the baseball season and also some personal picks that easily left me on the plus side...

Chasing involves a ton of discipline and following of rules... Is it dangerous extremely! Do I recommend it...no.... But those who say chasing cannot work...are incorrect... But I would not do it until you have a big enough bankroll and completely understand money management... My chase did not involve the continuous doubling of bets... It was a chase based on betting small...staying small...and even expecting chase losses...

As far as streaks go...great separate topic.. I think my longest streak was 12 games in the nba years ago...and cleared over 3,000... Remember I do not bet big or pretend to.

My longest losing streak around 7.

This year longest winning streak 7, losing streak maybe 4-5...
