    Riding a really bad losing steak. How to get over losses and recover.
    Hey guys,

    I been falling into a really bad losing steak. last 2 weeks. Have been losing everything. Bad beats and even heavy favs. For example bills losing vs titans 1 yard line. Washington state beating stanford last min. Yesterday I went 70% of my bankroll of vikings and of course last min heart break. How do I turn this around? I been betting with bitcoin and down to my last 20% of my bankroll. I feel horrible because I lost over 80% of my crypto. I feel depressed and just horrible. Don't have anyone to talk to about this so figured I would share it here.

                          In all seriousness, take time off. As pappy Bacon(a gambler) would say; when you're in a hole the first thing you got to do is quit digging.

                            Take sometime off guy, when you start losing and then get numerous bad beats you just have to stop. Just do something else for a couple days, recharge. If you don't you will find yourself second guessing winners that you wouldn't, then when you lay off and it was an easy winner you get more angry. You just have to take a few days away. Then get back to what you were doing. If not you will end up betting stupid shit just because you are pushing or just straight angry. Good luck guy.

                                Get a hooker, blast a guaranteed winner on her face and call it 1-0.

                                        Honestly OP I respect the “take a break” answer but I think your best advice is closer to this right here. You’ve lost what sounds like a lot of money so do what you’re comfortable with but if you remain consistent it will turn.

                                            70% of what I had left over. I lost over 70% of my bankroll last 2 weeks. 30% left. of the 30% that was left I put 70% of that on vikings ML live. Ofcourse I lost,

                                            Basically I burnt through 80% of my crypto last 2 weeks. I feel so bad. It took me years to build up my crypto. After today would say I have 25% of my account.

                                            So basically I need to 4x my account to get back to where I was. Is this possible? can I do this taking low risk plays and making sure I don't blow up my account again.
