    What would you do if you lost 12 bets in a row?
    Why's players talk so dead? I thought this place would be pumping on an NFL sunday.

    I've lost about $800 in my last 14 bets...12 losses in a row.

    What do other sports bettors do at this point? I'm clearly down this month, up some for the year....still, do you give up? My fellow degenerate friend said I must be doing something right to lose 12 in a row.

    Vacation plans up in smoke (I live abroad so dollars mean more to me)

    Should I chase?

    Good luck to you all with your plays!

    Ones losses should not impact their life. Someone should be able to lose 12 in a row and live life as usual. Outside of being annoyed and pissed. Wake up the next day and it’s business as usual.

    Take a break and regroup.

    good luck

        Take a break (several days).

        12 in a row... clearly you are on tilt so time off will allow you to clear your mind and hopefully come back and start fresh. After some time off, think through the steps you used when you were successul caping and revisit them. Continuing to bet and trying to "work your way out of it" at this stage is not a good option since it could just get you deeper and effect you even more financially/emotionally.

        When you start back betting again, try to think of it as a fresh start and adjust according to your bankroll.

        You should never risk $ such that, if you lose, it would have a significant financial or emotional impact.

        Good luck.

            You didn't lose if you learn from your mistakes.

                          If it makes you feel any better I have been hitting about 25 percent on nfl this year. But luckily I make smaller bets that dont sting after losing. I would like to win one of these sundays

                                2. Take a hot shower

                                    Frankly, I'll just keep doing me. It was just to stir up some convo on PT. A better question would be how much have you lost but I dont care so...yea, you're right tho


                                    I've never lost this much in 3.5 weeks (except for world series, it's 12 in a row). It's not back breaking money for me but still, 15 units is the most i've ever lost in such a short amount of time. Thankfully, my units are something i can afford, thanks to the years on this website.

                                    btw, we're 2-0 in the last two with the YETS win

                                    thanks for the laughs boys

                                      $800 has never (even when i was betting 1k a game) and never will be pennies. especially losing them to betting. we all have different bankrolls

                                          shocka, i'm not in the position to tail anyone that i dont have a documented record for.

                                          I've only done that with very few posters in my life and that was because i had a grip on them

                                          ive tailed you before but i'm scared shocka and scared money dont make money ...you know

                                          i was SUPER confident in the Jets and i pounded.

                                          I'll tail one, gimme the best one.

                                              JJs answer for this traditionally been to bet both sides. Guaranteed winner.

                                              I don't recommend it....but JJ swears by it

                                                  16 straight losing hands in blackjack is my record...years ago. Brutal. Caused me to use an entirely different blackjack strategy ever since. Haven't wavered from it in almost 20 years

                                                    Why do you bet $50 a game? Find your best bet and bet $500 instead. You don't need to bet the whole card every day.

                                                              fellas, i know $50 is nothing. i bet 50 bucks a pop so that when i lose 12 in a row, im not pumping my face with a bullet. Im over thinking im going to get rich with betting. this is just a hobby for me.

                                                              oh, and keep in mind $50 bucks for me is about $150 due to purchasing power. i'm not living in the us.


                                                              regardless of bet unit size, 12 in a row is penetrating brutal

                                                                I've only done that with very few posters in my life and that was because i had a grip on them

                                                                ive tailed you before but i'm scared shocka and scared money dont make money ...you know

                                                                i was SUPER confident in the Jets and i pounded.

                                                                I'll tail one, gimme the best one.
                                                                of course this looks dumb now that its started but I took vikings +3.5... if you can get something affordable live, you should go for it. Everyone talks about Kirk Cousins not winning in prime time, but don't remember Dak ever winning in prime time against a team that isn't a dumpster fire
