When you are in a losing period and you know it then just bet smaller and ride it out. Don't ever chase and increase bet sizes.. You can lose your entire bank roll doing that.. That's never fun.
That "I gotta get back that money I lost mentality" is a gamblers worst nightmare in the long run.. Oh and yes all sports gamblers get cold and hot at points..
So the opposite can go as well, when you start winning and know you are hot and streaking, bet larger and then chase if you must after one or two losses...
Just a thought JJ.... I've won money doing just that in the past when recognizing when it's happening.. Can't always recognize it though..
Everyone knows when you are feeling good, optimistic and winning.. Everyone also knows when you are "fock, I can't win a bet".. This sucks and my bank roll is slowly disappearing...
