Most chalk I ever took was probably in the -300's.

Must be a tennis play. And HELL NO. Largest I ever went was -250 or so for about 5 units & I got railed. Learned my lesson quick. Only way you lay the big price is in a parlay.

I laid -800 on boxing once and the cashier at the casino couldn't understand why I risked so much for so little. Told him because it was a sure bet and still he didn't get it..... so I finally said "I'm collecting, aren't I?"

I did it all year in 2005 when my Illini were on top of the hoops world for all those weeks. I was laying 1300 to win 100 all the time... I won every single time and lost the last game of the year...

It's probably a free $50 but deff. not worth the risk.
