    0-8 The past two days
    I don't know if this is even possible. I Don't think i could go 0-8 if i tried to lose. so i'm starting a new system, i'm just gonna start picking games out of a hat. I mean i don't think i'll do any worse then 0-8. and if that doesn't work i'm just going to give every team playing a number, close my eyes and shoot darts in to a dart board and try not to hit the cat in the process.

    I went 0 for 18 one weekend. I thought the same. You can't phucking win betting every day. Really need to spot bet, play maybe 2 games a week. If that... Do I have the discipline though to lay off? No!

        one suggestion-
        if you bet favorites and dogs all the time:

        try this:

        dont mix the two on any gambling day

        if you like alot of dogs one day just bet them

        if you like alot of faves one day-just bet them

        i try not to 'mix" dogs and faves at the same time
        i generally lean more to dogs and dont like to lay points in general
        whats been working for me is when i like some faves i
        put them together in a parlay

        3 team parlays have been working for me and i buy points
        (can only buy up to 2 pts w/ my book so i either buy 2 on
        the even number or 1-1/2 on the hooked numbers if that makes any sense

                Cray, like the idea, makes alot of sense... i do mix up alot of dogs and favs, and making 12 bets a night within nba nhl and cbb might not be the best idea, need to learn how to narrow down my picks, and for tonight i went a solid 0-0, my sister had a baby and i was at the hospital all day.

                Thank you all for the imput, gl to you all

                  i agree, don't go crazy and don't have the thought of "i HAVE to win today..." through ur head...u'll make irrational picks...be patient, don't bet all the games, and just go with what u feel is ur strongest...it may not always turn out right, but if anything, u'll "lose" slower, and wen you hit the big one, u'll have more cash to work with

                        Very possible.

                        I went 1-14 last weekend in college hoops. Then followed that up with a 12-0 run Tuesday-Thursday until UW went down tonight. The point is that past results are in no way indicative of future results. Put the 0-8 behind you. Anyone that's been doing this for a while has been through similar stretches.

                          break your slump

                          2-1-08

                          New Orleans -3 1/2 over Sacramento. Lay the points
                          even if line goes to 4 or 4 1/2. **

                          Now you have won one in a row.

                          Go for two.

                          Take Phily +3 1/2 at home vs. Orlando.
                          parlay 10 bucks x 2.6 = 26 *

                          If you dare take Toronto -5 1/2 vs Lakers
                          10 x 6 = 60
