Need some help

[Vince Carter]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but...

I've always bet on sports with my friend for fun for $5-10 and I had a pretty large amount in a c/d just mature so i figured hey why not, so I started with $1,500 for fun online. I was on a roll my first week and i was at $3,650 or so by the end of the week making $50/$100 bets. This past week, I haven't been able to catch a break and i'm losing every game by 2-3 points (i'm sure this happens to everyone though lol). I'm new to handicapping so I'm not sure how I should deal with it. I've tried playing 2 games a day and taking a break, but I'm consistently down $200-400 a day. Now I'm at $2000. I'm pretty good at not chasing and money management, so I don't know what to do here. Should I keep playing? I'm just trying to hit my ridiculous $15,000 rollover (i'm halfway there two weeks in) so I can cash out without losing $800. Should I just cash out and take the $1200 or should I hope my luck turns around?

It sounds like you have a win limit... but do you have a loss limit? have you hit your loss limit yet? Being down $2-400 a day is not good with your limited bank roll. Especially if your only playing a couple of games a day. Slow your roll... make some really small bets until you get back in a groove.

I don't understand what you meant about hitting a rollover of $15,000??? and how your almost half way there??? I'm not sure where your getting the $800 from as well unless you meant $1,500. Either way, it all depends on what and how you feel. If you feel that winning $1,200 is enough then you've answered your own question. If you think it's ok to lose it all then you've answered your question as well. Sit back and think about what you want to accomplish and stick to your guns.

i actually play 8-10 games a day. the $800 is from the $500 bonus they gave me which i just blew away on dumb prop bets because i didn't know they had a rollover for it

I'd first cut my amount of games down by at least half.

haha i just checked out my account and turns out I went 6-3 today and i still have $2500. I wouldn't mind cutting the games down but I really just want to hit my rollover and cash out to move to another book because mine sucks

I will agree with Mac4Life here..you sound like you are very uncertain. If you are making your own picks and think you cannot go 0-7, without a doubt it can and does happen... Go thru zboiz's threads he loses all the time.... He was maybe 2-8 yesterday alone...losing 25 units... So yes in your case I think cutting down amount of games may help...

Winning streaks come and go...just gotta ride it out. The week before the all star break I couldn't lose and had my bankroll up to a new personal high. I've gotten absolutely crushed in the two days since games resumed...3-6 on Tues and came back with a big 2-6 day yesterday. Just gotta ride it out...if you win 53% and manage your money right you're making money in the long run.
