It's really not a tough loss. All he's doing is taking solace in the huge juice that makes him feel invincible when in reality he's making -EV wagers that are without a doubt going to cost him money. Look at the 2nd parlay compared to the first. He took 2 totally opposite sides of what he was originally going to take. He didn't study and foresee an edge on which side was better he just jumped all over the huge juice figuring he was safe (exactly what the books want you to do). How many rookies have tried this exact same method for the exact same reasons and gone bust?
