          Stay positive but you must be realistic about your situation. You have to take a long look at what are you doing and ask yourself do you have a problem? If so it is best to quit for a while or are you willing to learn to get better. Start reading sports betting books and just observing the betting markets for a while and take a break from betting. I recommend logic of sports betting and conquering risk. It takes a couple years to really learn how to bet properly and you need a lot of discipline.

                I'm not being sarcastic when I say this, but pick the opposite of what you think will happen. Bet smaller, then martingale that way.

                I've had success with this lately. There are good bets, & bad bets. Even some of your good bets you'll get hosed on.

                Let me put it this way: When's the last time you won 10 in a row on -110's? If the answer is never, betting the opposite is probably a safe approach.

                You're also less likely to go on bad tilt sessions since you're betting stuff you don't think will happen (but will end up winning anyways)

                but remember to bet smaller than you have been. less stress, more profit

                      If you have to buy picks you are in the wrong business. What makes you think that you can out think a Computer that is worth several million times what your little pea brain is? I know of no one in here other than myself that is a consistent winner at wagering and I paid my dues to learn how to do it. You fools (and that is EVERYONE in here) think that you know so much you can just dive in and win money. You CAN NOT!!!
                      It is same old Bull S**t with you people, yet NO ONE in here has enough guts to wager me head on. All talk. That is all you people are. Totally and inexcusably worthless.

                              What do you bet? How often? Unit size? Do you chase? Why did you make the pick? Lots of factors. Most will say quit but that’s probably not going to happen. Maybe take a breather and focus on certain sports 2-3 games max. Lots of good guys to follow around here... I’m not one of them. I’ve made every mistake and so have they but nonetheless there’s no easy answer.

                                    Step 1: Track all your bets in spreadsheets in great detail
                                    Step 2: After you have a decent sample size, bet on what you're definitely good at, fade what you're definitely bad at.

                                      When I lose I feel better.busted out yesterday and feel very good and high

                                      Why????????????????? We want to lose and now the high of chasing comes into play

                                      I am angry and want all the money back

                                      Now AL a few weeks ago I went on a 9-2 run and my head was down because it seemed too easy

                                                fade yourself. it seems dumb but it can work.

                                                bet less games and bet games for the same amounts. keep track of your losses and why they are losses. it is not just as simple as picking one side or the other. i am nowhere near a know it all as i am working on doing this myself.

                                                  try knitting


                                                  it is a good way to train your hands


                                                  then when you are scrolling a sportsbook for a bet, muscle memory lets you click the winning plays

                                                    Bet more plays for fewer dollars each.

                                                      Yup, coming soon NFL week 13 picks from moron. Not only will you be able to get back to even, but then you'll be finished with Christmas shopping soon enough. No TNF so have to wait for Sunday but it's always rewarding!

                                                        Honestly, if you're losing money consistently (more so than just normal variance) you need to change how you're handicapping.

                                                        Either take in more, or less, or perhaps different data. This entire thing needs to be approached differently

                                                          You be hitt’’n winners like crazy!

                                                          Don’t pay for picks, don’t throw darts, don’t even trust yourself, no matter how fuk’in sure you think you are.

                                                          Just fade the modouchebag.... fade the modouchebag....fade the modouchebag.

                                                          You can thank us later by turning SBR Pro.
                                                          Not sure if OP knows what a fade is. Just bet the opposite of people who make outlandish statements like lock, can’t lose, strong records across the board, etc... it’s all bullshit. There are very few long term winners. As JJ said, most of us don’t feel good until we get a good kick in the nuts. The occasional cash out makes you keep coming back for glory days... it’s no different than chasing old pussy, talking about your prime years with your buddies or blowing a rail. Invincible feeling...
                                                          That eventually becomes a hangover, headache or $0.00 balance. Good luck.

                                                            I am angry and want all the money back

                                                            Now AL a few weeks ago I went on a 9-2 run and my head was down because it seemed too easy
                                                            What?? I never want to lose.
