          wait for the right game...don't rush. Let a day or two pass until you see your "sure" bet coming. GL.

                  Bankers Slump Buster:1st you gotta get you some Xannex and start eating them, sleep for a day or 2 pretty much non stop only getting up to eat more pills, after you are good and rested you need to get you a female (not sure your situation but personally im married so it limits my choices down to the wife but whatever) and go partying and i mean fukkin party drink, yayo, X, whatever have a good fukkin time, get it out your system (sometimes this takes one day or several you will know)...ok after you wake up from your druggin, drinking, fukkin binge you may feel a little rough but that is ok....Now you gonna eat some percs, this accomplishes two things 1st will help the hangover you sure to have at this point and 2nd they really help me get into capping mode, enjoy yourself some coffee while the percs start giving you a floaty euphoric feeling, now you ready to get back to work, with a clean slate, focused and ready....after that its up to you but i know you will be fine as ive seen you pick winners bobby you can do it and with these helpful steps you will be on another hot streak in no time

                        If I were you I'd write a check for $1200 and take it to Brock Landers credit union to cash it.

                        They will give you an extra $1000 as a bonus.

                                agree with sunde, baseball is an ulcer inducer and is pretty unpredictable right now.

                                        cut back your bet stake until things heat up again. Thats what i do.

                                            This may be the dumbest post ever.


                                            bobby. losing streaks happen. variance happens. it's funny you posted this thread because I've lost 8 baseball wagers in a row. you know what? it happens. I'd make all 8 wagers again tommorow too.

                                            8 game win streaks happen too.

                                              Slow down. Make sure you have an edge. How are your plays doing against the closing line?

                                              If it looks like you have an edge, but you're down big, lower your bet size to compensate for your lower bankroll. It sucks, but man up and do it. This is the most emotionally difficult part for me -- betting less after a long losing streak. If you're a limit bettor, your return might jump 1-2% just by betting less, and cherry-picking lines.

                                              If you are betting aggressively to press your edge, you should expect to lose half your bankroll on a bad run every year or two. It sucks big-time, but you'll recover, as long as you have an edge and aren't overbetting.

                                              If your bankroll is under 100k, it might be a good idea to focus on bonus whoring and smaller markets that you blew off earlier. Props are a grind, but a great way to get back in the game if you've had your ass kicked for awhile.

                                                I doubt many guys here DON'T have a bankroll of at least $100K.

                                                If they don't all they gotta do is cash 50 checks for $1200 at Brock Landers credit union and they will have the big bankroll.

                                                  Did you get the summons? I haven't heard from your attorney yet re: illegal use of an image and likeness.

                                                      You need to tell that to the judge, not me.

If it looks like you have an edge, but you're down big, lower your bet size to compensate for your lower bankroll. It sucks, but man up and do it. This is the most emotionally difficult part for me -- betting less after a long losing streak. If you're a limit bettor, your return might jump 1-2% just by betting less, and cherry-picking lines. If you are betting aggressively to press your edge, you should expect to lose half your bankroll on a bad run every year or two. It sucks big-time, but you'll recover, as long as you have an edge and aren't overbetting. If your bankroll is under 100k, it might be a good idea to focus on bonus whoring and smaller markets that you blew off earlier. Props are a grind, but a great way to get back in the game if you've had your ass kicked for awhile.
                                                        Very good advice Justin!

                                                          good advice justin, but i disagree about the props part. Props are the devil. No professional can make it f_ucking around with props, IMO. They are worthless.

                                                              Are you serious?

                                                              A decent prop player will have a 10%+ EV on all sorts of things. The best prop players can hold 15%. This is better than any sport, even better than beavers. If you aren't winning at props, and your bank is under 100k, you would do well to refocus yourself.
