    Take a break, then pick 1 sport to bet on and focus on just that. Don't bet everything on the board

          You should stop gambling and stop coming to sites that focus on gambling like sbr. Nothing is going to change until you put yourself in a position to change.

              This. Step away from gambling sites. Also, start to really assess whether or not you're good enough to make money gambling. If you're not, then just stop, or play with small money that you can afford to lose, just for entertainment/action.

                  You gamble for profit or you gamble for entertainment. I would suggest you find a cheaper form of entertainment.
                  Golden rule: Never ever gamble with money you can't afford to lose.

                    Bet with SBR betpoints until you get your swag back. You have to stop betting on every game as if you have to. Start air betting like a lot of fakers and wait until you get hot to use real money. Only bet what you're willing to lose. I was up pretty good in October but crashed and burned in the last 2 months but I don't give a fukk and I don't chase. Gambling can be a roller coaster and you have to be able to ride the ebbs and flows. You have to hammer it when you can and know when to tuck your tail and bail.

                        Cut your losses, and stop. I know you want it back, but it's not happening. My life is shot because of chasing all the money I lost. Among other things, but financially the answer is stopping completely.

                          You will never get your swag back, you never had swag. The days of easy money is gone. For people like you me and 99.9% of sbr posters, we're simply fish, we cannot win. The only chance any of us have is to play parlays and treat them like a lottery. Try to hit a 15 or 20 teamer.

                          Do yourself a favor and quit giving your money your hard earned money to millionaires that dont need it

                                      Once we realize that the majority of us gamblers lose, that'll be the first step to stop. I went to the track when I was 16, loss all 8 races, never went to the track again. Won my first 12 games in the NFL when I was 15, finally stopped playing after 34 years of up and down. (More down than up of course)

                                        One and the same. Anyone who can't see the value shouldn't be betting anyway.

                                              Agreed. If you can not go Cold Turkey then bet points. You will be surprised how many action you get and the $$ you will save. GL.

                                                  Be patient. Follow the forum and wait for games that Seaweed, Twizzle, Lakerboy, and Lang are playing. If 3 of these four are on the same side, take the rubber band off of your roll and pound it!

                                                  You can thank me at the end of the year with a nice fruit basket for Christmas.
