    What is your strategy for stopping a losing streak?

    I don't care how superstitious or illogical they are, I would love to hear some techniques

    pick games but don't actually bet on them. Use a notebook.. I've read and picked every NHL game for a month b4 without making a play. Just gotta get U out of it ur not doing anything but observing..

    Best method is to bet both sides of the same game. start fresh the next day.

    Re-examine methods and strategies. Do not be afraid to admit you were wrong and throw out what isn't working. IMO, one of the worst things you can do is delude yourself with the false belief that a losing strategy is "due" for a win. At the same time, I believe a capper can do everything right and still get stung by bad luck; you will need to differentiate between the two.

    Usually a bad streak starts when u start betting more than u should (because things go so well) and loose thoses bets. Bad things happen after that. I go back to my spreadsheet and look over my good and bad streaks. Go back to basics, tighten things up and be patient. Good times will come back.

    Change little things in your daily routine. Take a different way to work or a different way home. Watch a movie like Rounders where Mike and Worm make their big comeback - you will get motivated again.

    Bet more games. More games you bet, more chance one of them will be a winner.

    self-fade (being able to play devil's advocate on supporting strategy as well) on/ until turn-around then you can.

    depending on trends, "correlated" strategies fail at a consistent rate and at the same point in time. you just have to go risk lightly sometimes when a mindset is less effective as it had profitably peaked in the past. even Einstein thought time was relative.

    always calculate and adjust and consider all possible factors- regardless of the presence of the confirmation of their existence. no harm in that. safety first.

    i have a lot of ideas about minimizing risk in terms possible losses And possible wins but they are very expensive.

    jjgold has a video about that. but there are a lot of problems with that. Great video.

    its good to know what the right side is likely to be and what a good price is really. there're a lot of things and not everybody knows everything, but everything is just whatever it is..

    there are lots of betting strategies

    If you're expecting to find a good answer to the problem here you're being unrealistic. Average gambling iq of players talk is 18.23

    Forum should be renamed to "Losers Talk"

    You would assuredly be the leader of the new forum. Never seen someone lose as much money as you. You could hit 75% winners and still be down money
