Time. You have to wait it out. Prolonged losing streaks, fortunately, are few and far between. You can recognize them by their signs. During a prolonged losing streak you will see a much higher than normal occurrence of bad luck (as in 50/50 situations that decide the outcome of a bet and go against you at an absurd ratio), as well as a tendency to be drawn, as if by a magnet, to precisely the wrong bet (example: You never bet a 15-2 team, but decide to bet them on the ML against a bad team. They lose). Once the high accumulation of bad luck starts to subside you're back in the clear. This is only an indirect way of approaching streaks. There is a direct way. But, as thick as that may sound, it is not within the reach of the general public.
