    When handicapping techniques take a short-term dump on you.
    4 days. Roughly -10u.

    I have my approach to rough streaks, which will happen fairly often if you bet enough games. 10u is about 10% of my bankroll.

    What do you other guts do when you hit dark times?

    I bet heavy chalk until I hit a winner then go back to what I was doing before the losing streak.

      The system I use for the NBA was hot at the start of the playoffs. I was in first place in the NBA playoff points contest, then it took a dump the past few days and now I'm in 11th. So what I did was figured my system this morning and faded it today. 2-1 so far.

            Accept it and move on. Re-adjust my unit size. Good money management is key as you know. I've dropped 60 units but always manage to comeback and then some.

              Keep on grinding

              Remember streaks are going to happen this is why we practice good bankroll management to protect us from these streaks.

              If you are confident in your abilities than you know eventually you will get the lead back, remember this is a marathon.

                      Tail someone that is hot. Justin you are too smart not to bounce back. Just have confidence and it will work out. I noticed you played on the Pirates yesterday. When i get down i only will play teams i am 100% confident in, instead of searching for good value plays.

                              Why you would bet on a tired Pirates bullpen is beyond me. Take the opposite teams RL that play the Pirates for the next week. Worked the last 2 days on the Astros at + money!
                              If it seems to good to be true it usually is!!

                              I have a natural instinct to exploit market ineffieciencies!!

                                i've actually noticed that when you lose many games very quickly, you'll gain them back almost just as fast. kind of like easy come, easy go.

                                  Clear my head. Smoke a cig, smoke some weed, go get wasted with some friends. Wake up the next morning and go back at it in true degenerate fashion.

                                      -10% is nothing, IMO.

                                      Go fishing and take a few days off. Come back mentally fit.
