I've been where you were at many times. I'll go streaks and hit like 11 out of 12. Then I lose like 8 out of 9 and give it all back. It's so streaky.
When it's going bad it seems like you're going to lose no matter what. Those last second shots go in, you're team misses a 25 yard FG, your team blows a save, etc.
I had a bad losing streak a few weeks ago, doubled down on Dallas -1 and they blew a 24 point lead in the second half. It seems like bad losses like that always come at the worst time.
I'm a lot like you. I do this for recreation. I rely on my 9-5 job to pay the bills. I could never put thousands on something I have no control over.
Shockingly, I'm up nearly 1k since I started tracking my plays. It's not a lot but I'll take it considering I don't bet a whole lot.
It is fun getting your account down to $15, building it back up to $667, losing it back down to $25, and then winning back up to $780.
My problem is, I play too many games. If I just used the same disclipine I used to build my bankroll, I doubt I would have such big swings. In the end I guess it doesn't really matter. I do this for fun.
