    How to recover from 2 really bad days?

    How do you guys recover from a huge string of losses? The past 2 days have been hell for me, cant seem to get a winner...

    Im not going all in, so I wont have to worry about that. But Im just curious, what do you guys do to get out of a slump?

    I dont like taking days off. But if I get into a losing streak, I play small until I turn it around. You get those bad streaks, as long as you can minimize the damage, you will make your money back next hot streak. Never chase. Learned that the hard way.

    I'm skipping tommorows card. Don't like anything. Remember in gambling its all about being selective. Quality picks over quantity.

    Go small or take a few days off. One works for me. Then I come here and read a bunch and start small and bet few. Too many games bet on gets to be gambling for me.

    Astros bats always come alive in Cincinnati, they love hitting there. Also Moehler has been under valued all year long, I've been tailing him and it has been paying off.

    Stop betting so many damn games. I saw your card yesterday and a few other days. How do u expect to win anything betting 8 games per day.. More than likely you will break even every day. I never bet no more than 3 games per day. I may post about 8 plus games on here but I take my 3 best and bet them heavy. Usually I go 2 out of 3 and have a positive day. Neva have I lost 3 in a row in one day. Bet few bets and play your best bets..

    Thanks for the advice guys.

    Honestly Ive been betting 6-10 games almost everyday and Ive done well, its just lately Ive been in a huge slump.

    Ive decided to just continue what im doing, same games same amount... The law of averages will come to my rescue.

    Im just happy I didnt go all-in, I was tempted to, but I restrained myself.

    B2M, just keep doing what you were.
    2 bad days in a row is common for an everyday bettor, even if you are in the black over the long run.
    about the 10 plays a day thing, i think its okay if you have an edge on your plays over time, wagering only a small % of your bankroll
    look for where your strengths are i.e. totals, sides, plays from a certain book, props, etc.
