    Worst run in my gambling career
    0-13 run

    The odds of this occuring are .00322111%. Man does this ever end? Is this normal? I even beat closing lines up to 20 cents. When this turns around and goes 12-0 I'm going to be on top of the world, but right now I'm dragging my feet.

    Brutal man. Its certainly tough to keep your head up in times like that, but itll turn around.

        Bet smaller when you are losing big.

            I've lost four straight after winning four straight. That came after losing two straight and winning four straight. Do you see a pattern here?

            Keep your chin up. You'll bounce back. The good ones always do.

                    I question the accuracy of that quote.

                      I won't, I'm too disciplined to do so. Also dont have the time to sit and try to make up excuses for plays to play.

                      My bets are 2.5% of my entire BR that is calculated each day, so that accounts for it.

                      Yeah I can't wait to go on the 10-0 run at least. Especially since my avg price is +120. I play only dogs.

                      Don't worry sky diving is about all that keeps me sane. I remember having this song on my first skydiving video.

                          If you haven't gone 0-12 on dogs before you must not have been betting for very long, or have been extremely lucky, or are a superstar.

                              So many times I have tried to fade myself in the midst of a losing streak, and I can never get myself to pull the trigger. If I do my research and think a team is going to win, how can I bet against that happening? We all know these things turn on a freakin' dime.

                              The most important thing is to remember history, but not hang on to preconceived perceptions. The Nationals crushed the Brewers on the road today. Remember that. But what does it do to your perceptions of Was and Mil? Are the Nats suddenly a good team? Are the Brewers crap? Who was pitching spot on? Who was raking? Who's in a slump that they just can't pull out of? Who was out all night drinking before the game? How will the Nats feel tomorrow when they wake up in their hotel, still giddy from the win the night before but knowing their team really sucks? Multiply all of the above 25 times for each team's roster and you'll have it all figured out!

                              So many gray areas. The landscape constantly changes. Don't bang a team because they done good for you before. Or fade them just because they done bad for you before. Know the game. Know the teams. And know it will all change tomorrow.

                                We have all been there. Sounds like how 2005 went for me. I got crushed when all the dogs kept losing.

                                  I was having an awful May month of baseball. I have done much better in July despite a lousy night yesterday. Good luck and hope you turn everything around
