The kinda loss you just sustained is enough to make a man feel like chasing.

Yes....I did everything in my power to only risk 1 unit on Northern Iowa (who I've had circled since yesterday).

I just need to win one game...one game, and I will at least have a decent feeling in my stomach.

jayc88 · 11-23-09, 03:19 PM

you think losing 5 and winning 5 in a row is hard

i've went on the worst streak of my live immediatly followed by the biggest winning streak i've ever had.
went 15-40 and i'm 102-54 since then

Just stop for the rest of the day. Go out and drink a beer or two at a tavern.

The point I was trying to make is you can feel like the best capper in the world one minute, and the worst the next. It's strange how a couple weird bounces of the ball can totally crush your confidence.

Someone posted a few days ago how he lost 2,000 points in 17 consecutive lost bets. This is tough to do.

You like them to win or 1H play?

Regul8er · 11-23-09, 03:27 PM

VERY TOUGH.........I will count my blessings I've only lost 5 in a row. Since I posted up (65 picks) I never lost more then 2 in a row, so 5 in a row is hurting right now.

I like them to win, but went ahead and took the +2.5.

urge2kill · 11-23-09, 03:32 PM

I've had 3 0-5 or worse streaks in the last few days.

lakerboy · 11-23-09, 03:37 PM

Carry on dont worry you will get it back.

if you feel uncomfortable after losing 5 straight
you are betting too much money,

but i've had the same feeling when i started betting 3 years ago

Reg, that is so true go on a nice run. Everything is going well.
Then the losing streak hits makes us re-think bets.
Nice to be able to talk about it. You will be fine.

WELCOME!

Regul8er · 11-23-09, 05:13 PM

Back in the winners circle with Northern Iowa, I'm off the snide. Thank You Kwadzo Ahelegbe for shooting 17-18 for 38 points. What a monster game.

I think only people that don't gamble for a substantial amount of there living income think that gambler's are just trying to find a easy way out of not punching a clock. It is truthfully hard and stressful. I can put in 4 to 6 hours easily trying to find the best bet going considering I follow tennis and soccer along with the more major U.S. sports.

its an everyday occurence

part of the lifestyle

Regul8er · 11-23-09, 05:48 PM

I think I'll be fine guys....just needed to vent a little bit. Thanks fellas!

Jayc's an expert...he has 3 years of gambling behind him! Oh boy!

Hey do not let him bother you...glad to hear you won.. And most of us that have been gambling...in fact all of us that have been gambling more than three years know the feeling.

i thought it was impossbile for me to lose 5 in a row but if you're in it long enough it will get you and it got me too

eidolon · 11-23-09, 09:19 PM

just bet bigger when you are winning, and less when you are losing

urge2kill · 11-23-09, 09:20 PM

SBR book last week I had streaks of 0-8, 0-12 and 0-16.

robmpink · 11-23-09, 09:21 PM

5 in a row, hahahahahah. This is like a first kiss.

jjgold · 11-23-09, 11:33 PM

You can lose 10 in a row easy.

If you add it all up your going to lose anyway.

padre · 11-23-09, 11:35 PM

thats gambling for ya

pico · 11-23-09, 11:37 PM

no shit

LLXC · 11-24-09, 02:11 AM

If this was easy, we'd all be rich.

Chi_archie · 11-24-09, 02:18 AM

gambling can be a real grind.... a quick cure is always a nice win streak
