    I think I'm just about done.
    It seems that lately, no matter what side I choose, It is the losing side. I make Lang look good. I used to be on a hot streak and figured this was just a small setback. I have been losing for 2 months consistently.

    I have decided to throw the rest of my bankroll on one game. If that should turn into a win, I will continue to play until it is either depleted or till I get my original balance back.
    If that bet should lose, then its an easy decision of retiring from the wagering business.
    I can't see giving the books more of my money when most of these games are fishy anyway.
    If anyone has a winner for me, I'm all ears.

          I took a break a few weeks ago. Take a break and come back with a clear head always works for me.

            yeah I know. I'm a realist and understand you can't win them all, but if you could see my tickets here lately, they are laughable. I could flip a coin and still lose .

                    Sirus, wait and throw it all on Alabama. That way you get the best of both. You win and double up and it's the final game that counts so you are done.

                          Limit your bets, cut down do not chase late games if you are having a bad day. Remember not to impulse bet by adding bets simply because you are losing...wait till you see an edge. You should be able to at least do this with your home teams. Or pick a few teams and really learn them. Visit the site covers and review stats, look for mismatches on average yards offensively/defensively and PPY(points per yard).

                              I would never tell anyone to tail anyone.... But if you make it to the baseball season I use a system that involves 50% capping 50% stats that works very well.


                              Easily finished up using it but very time consuming... Still have not added the stats from last few weeks of MLB because I ended season early knowing the last few weeks of any sports season are very tough to cap... To many teams have spots either clinched or do not care anymore... We are almost at that point in NFL... As you could tell by today some crazy things going on...look at the Steelers and NE wow!

                              My college football record is very inflated by ML favorites...but I only have been stung by one this year...when vanderbilt lost to Army in Ot, otherwise been worth it...

                                      GL Sirus hang in there... try to figure what you are doing wrong. Maybe limit your plays to 3 to 7 a week just to see if you can finish on the plus side. Also always pick your games all at once... By that I mean do not add bets to late games just because you lost earlier in day.. Going all in usually does not work, it is a sign that you are losing and are trying to make it all back to quickly. Thanks for the points have a good night.

                                        We've all been there. Never throw the white towel in for good, just take some time off and come back rejuvenated, once you get a couple of W's under your belt you'll shake these feelings off. The losses are good to humble you and keep you in check, besides you can't truly appreciate the good weeks without having the bad ones sprinkled in too.

                                              look at your losses and figure out why you lost them, situations, etc. took me a few years but when i lose one i know exactly where i went wrong and try not to make the same mistake even though on occasion i do, good luck
