    At my breaking point
    Just don't know what to do anymore. Have not had a positive day since April 4th. Ten straight losing days. I haven't even chased with larger than normal wagers. Every bet the same amount. Just loss after loss on everything. The money lost I can afford to pay but something needs to change real soon. It's depressing as fukk and ruining other positive aspects of my life. Just want to make one huge bet to erase this death run but I know that'll lose too. Fukk man this blows.

    Best way is to bet both teams of the same game and eat small juice and break the streak

      JJ is sickening. Sports betting is the only thing in the world where you can be wrong 90% of the time on a 50/50 proposition.

          If it makes you feel better, I had like 8 grand in December, and have $30 to my name now. No source of income, and an alcoholic that will end up dead, or in the hospital in about four days. As long as you can afford, all good. You'll go on a run soon enough. Then lose it again. Rinse, repeat.

            Had a 6 day losing streak last month. This month I only lost 2 out of 13 days. What goes up, goes down and vice versa.

                  It happens Mack, and if somebody says otherwise, they are just lying and look foolish. That's normal around sbr though

                  had the worst season last year of my gambling career and I only bet 1 sport. Couldn't pick anything right. Lost a shit load of money. But this year had been hottest start I've ever had

                  IT WILL TURN AROUND

                    I'm an all in type bettor so no worries. You seem to flat bet, so just stay the course and all is well. You will hit 10 in a row soon enough. None of us win, but just can't bet the house on a game. If you can pay for it, then I wouldn't stress too much. I know it sucks losing regardless, but it'll turn. Appreciate it as well. Damn, why can't I take my own advice. Hah. Anyway, yeah, it'll turn.

                          This is why people need to bet no more than 2% of bankroll. There is no way to beat this game betting any more than that. It requires discipline that not a lot of people have. The reason for no more than 2% is what you are reading on these posts. You have to be able to survive losing streaks that are sure to come. A sports bettor with an edge can go month's without a profit. It's called variance. This is not a get rich quick venture, although some seem to think that it is and wind up broke.

                              Take a break for a couple days. Enjoy life and then come back with a fresh mindset. Subconsciously you're chasing because you've been losing, take a step back and look at your process of choosing plays.

                              It might not work 100% but I can guarantee you won't have a losing day if you take a break. Good luck

                                  Total bunk and you know it. 'Statistically proven'?

                                      Thanks guys. I do bet heavy volume most days which is more stressful and opens up loss potential. Some helpful tips and advice here. Taking the night off and going out with gf.

                                        Good choice bro. More to life than this. We've all had bad streaks. You'll bounce back.

                                        Enjoy the night out

                                            with my 1000th post let me tell u what we'll all tell you.


                                            IT IS OKAY TO QUIT. cold turkey, dont go to a casino, close your betting accounts/lose the passwords. unfollow all the betting social media, stop watching so many sports.

                                            Its okay, this game is meant to break you. Accepting its over is the hard part.

                                                  Yeah i do well betting sports but I blow my profits and then some on fukking horses...im so addicted I blow my paycheck every week buying bitcoins for 5dimes race book and fukking e-checks for tvg

                                                  I'm really tired of blowing hundreds of dollars every fukking day. Pick4s and pick5s kill me, I'm so addicted.

                                                  Chalk wins when I play all, bomb wins when I have 2 or 3 or a single. Then Wednesday I only had enough in my tvg account at the time to take 6 horses instead of all in the first leg of the late pick 4 at Tampa. I hit my 2 singles in legs 2 and 4,hit a 77-1 shot in the 3rd leg. But of course in the first leg a 14-1 shot won that I didn't have. All because I was short about $20 in my account and I had already maxed out my self imposed daily *************** limit so I couldn't deposit more...fukking thing paid 23,000 for 50 cents FUKK MY LIFE

                                                              The more game that you bet more money you're going to lose it statistically proven

                                                              With baseball you should be wagering a lot of dogs.
