    Fishercat (Base 1,000 chips)
    Session 1:
    Bet A (2:1): 50 chips
    Bet B (4:1): 100 chips (Parlay A and B)
    Bet C (3:1): 200 chips
    Bet D (5:2): 100 chips
    Keep 550 chips

    Suppose those are my bets. A, B, and D are winners and C is a loser. I win 100 chips from Bet A, 400 chips from Bet B, 250 chips from the Parlay (500/2), 250 chips from Bet D, and I lose 200 chips on Bet C. That means I had 1000 + 100 + 400 + 250 + 250 - 200 = 1800 chips.
    My bets going by this:

    Session 1:
    Bet 2: Baltimore will finish 15 games or more out of first place in the AL East (400)
    Session 1 Odds: 4:1
    100 chips (correct)

    Bet 6: Oakland will win the division (150)
    Odds: 3:2
    100 chips (wrong)

    Bet 7: The Wild Card will come from the AL West (250)
    Odds: 3:2
    100 chips
    parlay bet 6 and bet 7 (wrong)

    Bet 32:
    Overall HR Champion: 45.5 HRs (200)
    100 chips OVER (correct)

    Bet 33:
    Overall RBI Champion: 142.5 RBI (200)
    100 chips OVER (correct)

    Session 2:
    Bet 12: The winner of the NL West will finish above .500 (1500)
    S2 Odds: 3:1
    500 chips (correct)


    I had 1000 + 400 - 100 - 100 + 200 + 200 + 1500 = 3100

    3100 doesn't seem right when it said my max was 2900...one of those isn't right

    Wow, my example is really off. It should have been something like

    (Chips Remaining) + (Chips Won). I made a major error in that example. You should have 2300 chips

    (0 remaining) + (1500) + (400) + (200) + (200) + (0) = 2300
    (Remaining) + (Padres Bet) + (Orioles Bet) + (O/U) + (O/U) + (ALW Parlay) = Total.

    Then out of fairness to the others you will be Slagathor.

    That's what I originally had thought until I read the rules

    I think I'm in good shape with 2300...a lot of people's max winnings were less than what I actually won.
