If I lose a bet, I want to get it back immediately. How do you guys stop yourselves from doing this? My winning % after winning a bet is probably twice as high as my winning % after placing a losing bet. If I could just stop myself from going on tilt Im a monster. I hammer live totals like they are going out of style.

Well, I will say this. You handicap and make your picks. After that you stop. If you are betting more games after that just because you have outcomes you didn't like you will only be playing right into the books hands. Any bet made by emotion will lose you money because almost 100% of those bets have zero real handicapping involved. You just have to remind yourself it is a long process. You have to remind yourself there are always plays tomorrow. Losing streaks are inevitable, just like winning streaks. You can't lose your shit over one play or one day of plays. If you do that then the books have already taken your money.

This is the single biggest flaw in people not being more successful at sports betting. There would be a lot more pros in sports betting/poker if they improved money management and tilt didn't exist

I always tell myself, never again, but all it takes is a bad beat and I'm back at it.

it is a sickness so your best bet is never eve gamble chief

your a sikko

[cincinnatikid513]

they should make an app for troubled bettors only lets u make one bet at a time if u win u can place another if u lose ur account gets shut down for 24 hours until u can place next bet, people would cap so hard and be so sharp no more playing the next game going off board in 5 mins

As bettors we've all gone through this at some point.

As the years go by & experience sets in, it will likely help you attain more control.

YUP......I was the same way for a long time myself. You come to realize its a marathon, not a sprint, and a loss is just water under the bridge. I rarely watch games I bet anymore, and try not to follow scores too closely. It helps big time.

[Underdog5229]

betting live will do this to you. I can get the same way and live betting allows us to immediately try and recoup that lost bet by betting on some random game we put zero thought into other than it just happened to be running after we lost our other bet

Back when I use to bet football a lot I use to chase constantly. I never have live in-game bet before. But now sticking to mostly just NASCAR cured me of that thankfully. Cant chase!

95%bet anything

impossible to win like that

Great gamblers sometimes do not make a bet for weeks

[b1slickguy]

Chasing big is the ultimate rush in gambling!

[Al Masters]

Chasing is the number 3 killer of all gamblers!

Usually only experience and time can control
that,but with many not even that will help.

In the old days.. You chased and it didn’t
work out usually would lead to sit downs
with bookmakers and their henchmen.
time frames to pay..things one no longer
wants live with as one gets older.

Learning to deal with it is more important
then any bet you’ll ever make.

This next line is also very important..

Hope you understand it.

Your losses are more important then your winnings.
This may take time to understand.

Oh yea one other thing if you’re wondering
or do not know what the top 2 killers are
of sports gamblers.

Number 2.... betting with Credit
Number 1.... borrowing to gamble
Number 1a...borrowing from a Shylock to gamble.

Please note 1a is like swallowing poison
either a slow and painful death or a quick
death blow.

hope that helped.

Hey guy let me get you in a GA program

Where are you from?

[terpkeg]

Stop drinking and doing drugs if that has any effect

[THam12]

Everyone does.
We are addicts.

[danshan11]

I can model all day and bet smart or at least I think smart but let me get with some friends and drinking beers boom pull my phone out and hit the lines for sure, high amounts and roll of the dice type bets! But for me this shit is entertainment, I have a real job, gambling is for fun, I only play with money that does not feed my son or keep the roof on!

[Easy-Rider 66]

Tough Game no doubt.
