    A day in the life of a Degenerate......

    So, I made a post earlier in the day explaining that I shouldn't be betting today....I have been on a good run and I got a little funky yesterday, betting differently, getting a little bit 'chasey', etc.

    This was that post:

    Two weekends ago I had a solid weekend, was up $2100 and then gave $1900 back on my worst beat ever, Dallas/Philly NFL.

    The next few days were average.....and then I did something that I never do. Ever. I came home bombed from a Christmas party and.....blew $3000 off in the 5Dimes casino playing blackjack. This is the first I am telling anyone of this....it took a few days for me to even accept the fact that I did it.

    So.....after giving away $1900 on the Dallas game and then $3k in the casino I have been grinding away to get it back. I have actually had a great run and am back further ahead than when I started, and have ground out $3500 to get back what I gave away (total online roll approx. $11k again)

    Now, yesterday I had $3000 out there (you know my volume) and had a TERRIBLE start.....getting myself down $900 pretty early but had a tremendous finish to the day and ended up basically even. I know what that means.....I have done it dozens of times....all of these things mean a bad day today....so I am looking to SBR to help me out. I figure I will pull a George Costanza today and go the oppsite of all of my picks....that should work out just fine!

    Feel free to post your leans here....and today I just may jump on them!

    thanks boys,

    So, after that I go ahead and do this:

    Total wins:

    Total losses:

    $2580.37

    Net Profit/Loss:

    - $30.37




    Anyone out there think today was worth it? Holy crap....a load of stress....my head hurts.

    With over 7000 wagers in the past 24 months, volume doesn't scare me. In the high season I can make up to 40 wagers in a day. I try to wager approximately 20% of my roll per day, which works out to about $70k a month.....so a day approaching $6000 where I took some shots and bet sports that aren't my best.....that is scary to me,

    What got me today was taking shots in NCAAF where I do not belong. When I start getting stupid I like to post it, to read it....it helps to make it sink in. Hopefully it will tomorrow. If you take NCAA out of there I would have felt much better about it and I would have been up $1000 for the day.....and what was I doing betting $220 on who scores the next goal in the Junior game?? Would that EVER be profitable long term?

    I have a bad cold and have been laid up on the couch the last few days.....it is making me crazy. Boredom sucks.
