Subject: What do Chaos Space Marines Do in Their Downtime?
They ding-dong-ditch on imperial governors palaces and play baseball on Bjorn the Fell-Handed's lawn.

Red Corsairs are pirates in space. They do what pirates do. Steal stuff, shoot those that complain, borrow some local wenches, bury treasure somewhere,
....oh and drink a whole lotta Space Rum.

Guys you have miss the real point, its obvious that they tend to their armour and weapons, pray to the dark gods, kill maim and burn, and when they finish that they play the Space Marine on their Xbox's against the Astartes fighting it out there
Chaos space marines play badmiton, polo and drink lemonade in their downtime.
i heard abbadon is one heck of a golfer he could've gone pro.
Or they slaughter fight and generally try to appease the chaos gods. Whichever sounds more likely.

Well, the Word Bearer trilogy basically tells us that
Spoiler:
Kor Phaeron and Erebus are playing an endless game of chess (as amiable as it is brutal), with the Legion as their pieces.

As people said, it varies from warband to warband. Word Bearers likely hold massibe rituals and sacrifices for the chaos gods and scheme. Iron Warriors build greater daemon weapons and plan planetary sieges. Renegades raid for material, try to recruit, gamble and duel. All stomp on slaves and/or form small cults for their own personal aggrandizement if any are around.
Like regular marines, chaos marines see themselves as living weapons, instruments of war. Most of their actions, on downtime or not, will be geared toward that purpose.
In Boxing matches, you actually get paid to take a dive and make the other guy look good.
In Warhammer 40K, you're expected to pay cash out of your pocket for the privilege of having Marines and IG trample all over your Xenos/Chaos.

Khorne marines wrestle, slanesh marines do whatever they want eg painting, cutting themselves, jamming to dub step, etc, Nurgle marines mix up new brews of viral strands, and tzcheench marines study, play chess, solve riddles, etc.

Inquisitorial lesson #298: Why to Hate Choas Gods, cont'd-
With Chaos, Tzeench would probably turn your hands, feet and face into
scrotums, complete with appropriate nerve endings. Then Khorne would
force you and all your friends to fight to the death using your new
scrotal appendages. Once they get tired of that, you get tossed to
Slaanesh who <censored by order of the Inquisition>, until you finally
end up in Nurgle's clutches and he uses you as a loofah.

Hold a "Blade of Feasts" (Similar to the Feast of Blades of the space marine chapters) Where they see who can survive the longest with a sword in each of their limbs while chanting prays to Khorne.
