    So tired of losing...

    It's like no matter what I do in the end I'm losing money. Anyone here actually in the green long run? I feel like it's almost impossible

    This post reminds me of a motivational poster I saw. It's a dude in a wheelchair at the base of a long flight of stairs. Caption says "not with that attitude"

    We all lose here. Just take a little break and come back stronger. You can't lose non-stop 12 months a year. You need to take a few breaks during the year, then jump right back in. It's impossible to quit cold turkey and never come back. You just need a little break!

    I've been gambling consistently/daily for over 20 years on sports. I go on runs where i do very well and runs where I lose. At the end of the day I am a loser in the long run. I know this and I am ok with it. It's much more entertaining watching sports with $ on them. I'm all about the action. I don't play with money that will affect my life one way or the other.

    I've been testing my own soccer system for a month, do you think I might've finally cracked the code?

    It'll feel that way if your placing 10 bets a day. Even if you go 7 of 10, impossible daily, and takes a mental toll.

    A lot of daily small bets, is just shooting yourself in the food.

    2-3 max, medium to large size wagers / day

    Ice, we all know you aren't going to quit. You make a thread like this every month. Like Rocket said take a break. I love gambling as much as the next guy but I have only made one baseball bet, I posted a month ago. Get out of the game for a bit. Go golfing or something. If you gamble all year round on every sport day after day you will end up miserable and burnt out.

    Iys fukin summer time. Which means golfing, boating, and woman.
