You bet too much. If you used restraint......no more than 2 plays a day you'd be a winner. The more people bet the more they lose. One play a day is the way to go................
Good luck this week gold.

Back when I first started betting on sports, especially baseball, I would do 4, 5, 6 plays a day. I just found it impossible to win long term. Even a 3-2 winning day is chewed up by the juice.
For the past two years I try to find one game a day I think I can win. Since putting that strategy into play I haven't needed to reload any of my accounts in that span of time. If I lose the play, come back the next day with a fresh perspective and my account balance still intact. It allows me to cut down down on losing streaks and increase win streaks.
I'm a firm believer that the more games a person bets in a given day, the more likely they are to lose.

This is exactly how I play... But years ago I went through the bet a ton of games stage. I think what I like the best is when I lose and know the other bets I might have placed lost too. As you said next day 0-1, instead of 0-3...which sets up the chasing...which sets up the losing...which sets up one of two things... the "All in post"....or the "I quit post"....

Absolutely G. I think over betting or betting too many games is probably the most common mistake new & old gamblers make. The one play a day strategy is definitely the way to go. Just find that one game a day that can be a winner and call it day either way. I shake my head when I see the size of peoples cards out here. You can't win long term that way and when you have a bad day it's decimates the bankroll. More is less when it comes to betting sports.

Good point with the Astros at 1-5 and being shutout yesterday, and Moehler starting... I would never have taken them when they are slumping so badly!
