    How do you rebound after a bunch of losses?
    Baseball kicked my ass this week. Im down units... Im thinking about going all-in tomorrow and quitting if all fails. Obviously, Im not in the right state of mind. Any experienced gamblers want to coach me on how I should manage such a terrible state of being...

        what i do is...

        take a break so you get your mind off of all the hard losses this is so you dont do somethign stupid like going all in. after that just come back and do what you usually which is handicap games to the best of your ability and make those profits back.

          If you continue right now you'll lose for sure. Take Saturday off to clear your mind. call up a couple girls. I prefer to have threesomes with a 110-115lb girl with small & one about 140lbs with huge . get them in the hot tub, smoke a joint & drink some courvoisier. Send them on their way Sunday after a light brunch & bloody marys. Then get your ass to gamblin'

            you lie to yourself

            you tell yourself that you will go on the biggest winning streek of your life starting on your next bet

            we repeat this cycle day in day out

            and then you die

              This is an easy one! Take the weekend OFF, dont even watch a game or track scores.

              Monday will be a new day with lower bet amounts (because your BR is smaller)

                  If it's at all salvageable, do not ever, ever, ever go all-in.

                  Do it now and win, you will do it again down the road and lose.
                  Do it now and lose, you will deposit again down the road and when you're ready to go on tilt again think "there's no way I lose another all-in" and then you lose again. Dead and freaking buried 2+ times.

                  Take it off, go to sleep, get your mind off of it. Come back and wait for a sport/game you know well and make a small play.

                    whatever you do don't go all in tomorrow, you're in a losing state of mind and whatever you bet tomorrow will more than likely go sour.

                    bet with confidence, not desperation.

                        my hottest streaks usually come right after i have a little rough patch and i get all pilled up (or whatever, Profits suggestion works, or a bender, basically whatever you are into besides this thing we do ) and come back after a few days/week, whatever it takes to get your mind right....

                            you need to step back and watch for a couple games. mlb is the easiest sport to make $$$ at, my guess is your betting way too much and on way to many games. scale it back!

                                  If you feel the need to chase and go all in, you need to take a break. While on your break, read up on money management.

                                      OK, this will probably not help you much but here is what I do when feeling stressed or tense...I turn on Pandora's 80s Reloaded mix and dance for an hour or so. Dancing releases endorphines and I feel better after a while. I also write. The most successful people spend many many hours reflecting on their lives.

                                                Cut your wager amounts and you number of plays in half on both cases till you ride out the bad streak. Never go ALL IN.

                                                  I agree with most I've been wagering on all major sports for over 40 yrs. we all have bad streaks like yours. don't chase!!!!!!!!!! rest and make some mind bets reevaluate, or just get away from the game entirely. I would watch until all star break find where my errors are. recoup money and set the board on fire after mid season. betting now will just add to your feeling of being a loser. winning breeds winnings. when you're losing that ninth inning opening triple doesn't score for you. good luck ne way you go,

                                                    I think you are about to quit at the wrong time. A winning streak must be on the way. Try to see what you are doing wrong, do not judge the teams based on how they performed last year.

                                                      only bet on road team underdogs. split two games and you will make profit. let me restate. no money is to be wagered on mlb favorites. they lose and are overpriced. stick exclusively to road team underdogs only.

                                                        Chasing works fine if you go all in and pick a winner

                                                        Problem is when you're running bad you're not thinking straight and your likelihood of picking a winner is not all there

                                                          Thanks guys.

                                                          The Celtics got me back on track tonight.

                                                            You quite simple take a break, rebuild the bank roll by working or hustling and then choose someone good to fade.

                                                              I think he means choose someone shitty to fade in case you didn't pick that up...

                                                                Follow a very simple rule, expect failures with success and you'll be good to jump again in the game.
