    Cold Streak

    How do you spot a cold streak and what do you do when it happens?

    I was 32-12 before I started a thread.
    Because of the streak and increased confidence, I started one.
    I went 4-0 on the first two days.

    Yesterday, I went 1-2 on my official plays.
    Bulls, Wolves and Nuggets.
    I also capped the other games, and was 2-6 overall.

    Should I start fading myself? I'm afraid variance is catching up.

    I would play at least the card tomorrow, everyone has bad days but it isn't a cold streak unless it is a streak not just 1 day.

    Maybe make less plays until you're back in rhythm

    I got hammered on 1/25 I play the whole board this is the worst day anyone could ever have. I started question everything but a day later back on track. Could be just a really tough week. Good Luck

    Well i am soccer bettor so no real capping in basketball for me. But in sportsbetting in general it is always good to think about your betting. It is psychological. The feeling of losing is worse than the joy of winning. Important is you always have a close look on your bets and theories and evaluate if you were totally wrong or that the theory behind your bets was solid but the result was not. People seem to go into resultoriented thinking pretty fast especially when you run good. So my advice would be evaluate your bets decide if they were solid. If not pick less games/smaller stake. Otherwise just keep on going.

    But remember a very small percentage is a solid winning bettor <1%

    Man I've had a nasty nba run since starting a thread, just keep capping and don't worry about your record. It will turn around. Maybe just bet .5 or .25 U until you neutralize it. Good luck
