    I am taking a break until late October. It really isn't that bad once you get past the first week or so. Stick with it and it'll be fine. If you can't handle it and bet again, YOU WILL LOSE. It always happens when you vow to take time off but then break that vow.

    House always have the edge, and all of us are destine to lose. Fading is the way to go imo and just be discipline.

    Take the break and concentrate on making money conventionally. Never chase, it will be football season before you know it. You can reevaluate then.

    Have only played with points the last couple of weeks. Actually feels good not to lose real funds.

    Take a break spend some time doing something you enjoy besides gambling, then come back refreshed and ready. Dont over think your picks, gambling is a game of streaks, some bad some good.

    Take a break, a clean break. And don't come back for the finals. You can always go to a casino and put $500 on red or black if you need a fix.
