I normally go with some of your picks but im completely on the other side of most of those.

[strictlywinners]

That should mean they are all winners, I strictlylose over the last 12 days. Thank god I took 7 of them off so I wasn't taking my losers, but these last 5 have still been terrible

[peterpan19]

just hit the chiefs for,

[saddestbison]

damn, I was on tennessee and new orleans today, have you been using your system?

[strictlywinners]

Yup, and it has been absolutely terrible for last 2 weeks, and I mean worse then bad. In the 7 months that I tracked it for, it has never had so many lsoing days, and not just losing days but terrible losing days. I'm going to give it one shot to rebound next week, otherwise, I'm going to have to take a good amount of time off. I took 5 days off came back this weekend with just 500 and 1000 bets and still lost 5000 in 2 days, that is hard to do, and it doesn't get much worse then that.

[saddestbison]

man that sucks, it seems like you're playing more games than you used to. Is this true?

[laxdjock]

We all take our lumps.

Best advice I've gotten was to drop my unit and drop the # of games played. Watch out for the Sunk Cost Fallacy/Effect, as you don't want your previous losses to influence your current betting.

"The Psychology of Sunk Cost" is a good study that takes about why we throw good money after bad.

"The sunk cost effect is manifested in a greater tendency to continue an endeavor once an investment in money, effort, or time has been made. Evidence that the psychological justification for this behavior is predicated on the desire not to appear wasteful is presented.

It is found that those who had incurred a sunk cost inflated their estimate of how likely a project was to succeed compared to the estimates of the same project by those who had not incurred a sunk cost."

Yes I'm a dork, but it is still a good study.

[strictlywinners]

Hahaha I love this kind of stuff, and I actually know all about it. It has to do with any investment, for some reason when you have lost money in an investment you start to believe the investment will succeed more and more. It is oh so very true.

At least you got pretty lucky on that chargers bet
You got anything on tonights game?
