what makes sports betting difficult is not having the patience to stay in the game. to many people cannot stick to a system after a streak of losses and they try to change something and it makes it worse. what makes a successful handicapper is knowing how to deal with a losing streak and staying positive! anyone can pick winners and boast about it, but how do these people handle a tough stretch of losses--do you get frustrated enough to bet more?, do you try to change your handicapping method and make it worse? do you give up and bet the whole bankroll?
whether you use math or other means to handicap, stay with your method and let it work over the long haul! anybody can pick 60% over 30 picks, but how do you do over 5,000 picks!! losing money makes people do weird things when it comes to gambling and that's the downfall.. if your in this game to make quick money then be prepared to lose it. think of this as an investment for down the road!
