    Lost $800 today... -__-

    Been on a super hot streak since the nfl playoffs started. Turned a $20 deposit at bovada into $1400 with football and basketball plays. I was on a roll and hit everything I touched......until tonight. Decided to up the bets from $50-100 to $300ish each bet and well, the wheels fell off tonight 😭😭😭



    Hope to get back rolling tomorrow night.

    Yep but that's almost like a days pay for me so not sure if that makes you feel better or not?.. Sorry bud if you let it ride today and lost as you picked the wrong day to do that..

    Wish ya best of luck in the future..

    You will lose in gambling but if you are good it will be less then half the time.. Stay on it bud and cap the shiiiit out of your bets before placing in the future, don't load up and bet on thin schedules or prime time games either as logic can go right out the window on those games.......

    Just my take anyways from sports gambling for over 25 years..

    It is the natural overwhelming feeling of "gamblers guilt".....

    Overcome this and you shall prosper.....

    Block out the feelings of greed,gambling is wrong,guiltiness,hope I don't lose,ETC...

    Look at it as investing with self confidence but humble....

    Just remember success in sports investing takes more talent than 99% of the industries ability to practice SELF DISCIPLINE......

    So never feel bad when looked down upon by your peers for sports investing,unless of course you are one of the 99%........

    Oh you gotta brush off your loses and have a short memory to last in this gambling business or it will eat you alive.. Weigh on your mind. Can't do that..

    Remember there is always the next day and just forget about what you lost and start over.. If you had 10,000 in an account and it's 0.. Then just think you never had the 10,000 and it's 0 and start over.. No biggie...

    My best take on it all.. It helps me get over big losses when they happen.. Never think what you could have bought or paid off with that money either.. It's gone forget it...

    Let it go man or it will eat you up!!!!

    Learn from it and stay disciplined is my best advice... Have goals and reach them..

    For example - with bet points for me, I always pissed them away over the years on this forum and could care less because I don't mind giving a $100 to charity every year to renew with SBR...

    I said less then a month ago to Chico in a post I'm gonna take bet points seriously finally and I went from 0 to 7000 in 3 weeks, no lie.. I said I will never get below 6000 again.. Sure enough I have 6000 showing and I will never go below that again unless I lend them out from kindness.

    That's how I treat real money and it works.. Set goals and stop points... Bet small if you have little and create limits.. Don't borrow to bet ever... You end in GA that way...

    Oh and the best advise I can give is BELIEVE and give to charity and get good Karma working on your side. Be nice to others..

    When you are happy and up beat you win bets.. When you are depressed and feeling down or chasing you usually lose bets.. You still need to cap your ass off though.. Nothing comes for free in this life..

    There are super natural forces at work whether you'd like to think so or not with every human being... Like Pauly Poker said let go of greed...

    So you turned 20 into 600.. If I told you that you'd do that when you deposited the original 20 would you be happy? If so then don't sweat it and get back at it on Saturday.
