Getting tired of the grind

keep your bets the same amount per game

Fishhead · 01-26-10, 08:14 AM

Do you have a Matchbook account?

Stay focused
Remain calm
Be thankful everyday
Diversify

I wish you the very best.......

PittsburghPlayer · 01-26-10, 08:29 AM

Appreciate your thoughtful, kind, cosideration Fishhead. I think what I am going to do is cashout my original investment and try to work with the 5 hun or so that leaves me, minus the 10 thousand hour investment!!. Maybe I need to bring myself down a notch.

G's pks · 01-26-10, 08:39 AM

Sounds like the 220 was too large a bet for your bankroll to take as a loss...

INVEGA MAN · 01-26-10, 08:42 AM

hang in there. i believe we all have our streaks when we bet.

PittsburghPlayer · 01-26-10, 08:42 AM

True that G

Thanks for the points..........

Let me know if you need anything............

Also, be careful, this is a dangerous time to have money offshore.

BEJAM/OLY and HERITAGE are my top two rated sportsbooks for SAFETY at this point in time.

I agree with Bobby and makes all your bets the same amount and ever change them based on a percentage of your bankroll. There is no way you can decipher than one game has a better chance of winning vs another as it is all the same outcome 50%. God Bless You.

PittsburghPlayer · 01-26-10, 08:56 AM

Men, you are some good motherfukkers. Thank you. Fishead, thank you for the heads up on the offshore books. I cashed-out, left $220 in. Back to the 10 and 20 dollar bets!! And no Matchbook, only Carib. Been there 10 yrs.

Nothing wrong with that...here is a test I used years ago...if you place a bet and you really feel sick after the loss and cannot sleep, and/or are still depressed/upset the next day....reduce you amounts to something much more comfortable... GL...

I will definately take that under advisement. I feel a sense of relief from having done a cash-out. Hope and even think it might help. I will let you men know how it goes, as I might not stick to the 10 and 20 dollar bets!!

Though I understand the thought process and money managment in doing so. My first time around this forum was no where near as pleasant as this time. I wonder if that is because I did not know how to respond to forumville as I was a virgin to forums then. I thought some people were rude and very mean at times. That in turn brought out the daygo in me, which is never good! Thanks again Men.

Where do you reside?

upstate NY. In fact last year before I left I thought I had a deal with you where I was going to give you my 4 hundred and something points for two winners, but you never got back to me. I may not have helped my cause by sending you a PM that had "I don`t give a shit" as the subject, though the body of the letter was non confrontational. I believe I wrote I don`t give a shit if you do not want to proceed with the arangement. But if one were to not open the PM and see just subject, well. I am getting long winded and used to be a rock band!! Not in one.

Billsfan is from Jamestown............

WhatAboutMeBitch · 01-26-10, 09:40 AM

it can be wearisome

PittsburghPlayer · 01-26-10, 09:49 AM

If I understand correctly Billsfan is a woman, and damn good at hitter her plays. Possibly moving to Vegas with someone. Is that you motherfukker? I think it is now that I think about it. Do you recall the deal of points I spoke of? If I stepped on your toes, which I know I never did intentionally Fish, I am sorry. You are a good man.

THEGREAT30 · 01-26-10, 11:13 AM

They grind is the name of the game. Hot streaks vs Low Streaks. Smiles vs Frowns

PittsburghPlayer · 01-26-10, 11:27 AM

I would like to thank you men for your replies. No one broke my balls. Awesome. Just made wager and it was not for 10 or 20 bucs!!

Cris/Bookmaker should be on that list.

Pittsburgh Boy! I think you got some good advice here mate, remember that in gambling your biggest enemy isn't your luck, it's not the fukkin bookies - in gambling the biggest enemy you will ever face is yourself, your urge.

PittsburghPlayer · 01-26-10, 12:38 PM

Appreciate the thought John Anthony. Actually my biggest enemy has been the lack of confidence...inability to pull the trigger. I generally play between 3 and 7 games a week. If I played the same amount of money on the 10 or 15 gut feelings or games I cap per week I think that would fukk me up less for when I do decide to make a play. Jimmy the Greek said that scared money loses, and while I am not losing I have been playing scared... to not lose a lot of days. So my biggest enemy is not so much the urge, but it is myself. Will keep you posted, Thanks.

sportsguy04 · 01-26-10, 02:42 PM

Why is it a bad time to have money in offshore books?

Shortstop · 01-27-10, 12:43 AM

Pittsburgh, I'm currently on a real money sports betting hiatus until baseball season.

It feels good taking a break. You can actually enjoy watching games and couldn't care less what the final score is.

Hang in there pal, clear your head and figure out what's best for you.

Best of Luck!

WhatAboutMeBitch · 01-27-10, 12:44 AM

its hard work

DOMINATER · 01-27-10, 01:02 AM

BASEBALL,just hearing that makes me feel good REMEMBER THIS THE ONLY SPORT WHERE THE DEFENSE HAS THE BALL!

DOMINATER · 01-27-10, 01:03 AM

You know what this foot ball season towards the end was unpredictable

I see you watched the ESPN 30-30 on the Greek too
