I'm considering it right now with the way things are goin, anyone ever try that?

There has been stretches that I thought about it. But I always figure the time I would do it, Id get back on track. So I never do.

The day you do it, is the day your capping gets back on track. Then you will kick yourself in the ass. Then everytime you cap, you will double guess yourself. Not a good thing to do, I think.

I have thought about it during the rough stretches, but never have. Always trust your capping skills. Like looker said, if you tryit, it will probably backfire.

Agree with Illusion 100% here. If things are that bad that you're thinking of fading yourself, take a week or two off to recharge. With sportsbetting, everyone hits the wall at one time or another. How you deal with the slump determines how smart and how talented of a sportsbettor you are. If you reach the point that you can't trust your capping skills, its time for a little break.

I too considered it but it's kinda ridiculous. I like the over in this game so... I'm gonna go with the under? lol

Thank God I didn't do that tonight; I would have been 1-4.

I went down a couple weeks ago, losing in NHL. So I stopped betting on it (except for 2-3 games and still lost those), wagered in CFB and CFL, followed a couple of posters here on NBA (the ones I followed are pretty good), and made a profit. Now I'm starting again in NHL and doing well.

i'd take to some off from betting before i did it personaly.

i know people here in town that have done that. and, it completely backfired on them. and they were kicking themselves for a long time over it.

hot and cold streaks come in spurts from what i have seen over the years. you just have to roll with the punches is all, or quit.

I had a buddy that would fade his own picks. Then he would get everyones picks and fade any consensu pick. He usually won but he almost got Julius Ceasaer'd a few times too. Sometimes the local we were using would have us give what we lost to him. Man that chapped my azzz.
