    Well folks, it's been real

    Time to take a prolonged leave. My struggles have been magnified tonight, as my bankroll will soon be down almost 70% in the last two-plus weeks.

    For Tuesday, I took:

    Orlando 1Q (loss)
    1H under (loss)
    Orlando -7 (soon to be loss)
    Game under (soon to be loss)

    And in baseball:
    LAA/TEX under (loss)
    SD RL (pending)
    OAK ML (pending)
    LAD/HOU under 7 (already 3-1 in 2nd)

    Even if I hit the two pending baseball plays, they're small and I'm in for another huge night of losing. I'm going to still stick around here because my leans are golden, but no plays for a while. Just getting totally humbled and humiliated right now.

    BTW, if this hits http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/nba-basket...-go-wrong.html , I might retire forever.

    Didn't play it. Haven't missed one yet, and frankly, everything's looking good at this point.

    They were all small except for Orlando -7. That's going to really be a punch in the gut -- especially because I was initially on Boston small before changing my mind this morning.

    Sorry to hear that NoCoin. I know the feeling all too well. Hang in there! I know you will get it together and get it back.

    Thanks, man. Best thing to do, I guess, is take some time off.

    I did that last week for a few days, but I think I'm in for an extended break now.

    It's pretty sad when you wind up rooting against a parlay you didn't play as your biggest thrill of the night.

    Just one word for you....Public wins 50% of the times. Fading "public" and trying to be "sharp" doesn't work.

    I don't always do one or the other.

    When I back the public, they lose.

    When I follow the sharps, they lose.

    I'm an equal opportunity loser.

    Sorry to hear that man. I've been getting consistently crushed the last few weeks and had to take a little break. Sometimes its good to take a break, take a step back, and resist the temptation to chase or make poor management decisions.
