After Boston blows this game it will be an 0-5 to start the day. Losing streak is getting legendary for me now. Have wiped out 2 months of profits it less then a week, wow!!!!!

Trying not to let it bother me but has been awful. Had Tortono under team total and Boston and both og down in flames here.

Just keep thinking tomorrow. Happens twice every baseball season to me but this one hit harder then usual and went from red hot to ice cold on a day and been tumbling ever since.

Keep the faith.

Think about me moving to Vegas, that will cheer you up.

6 straight wins to end the day including a miracle with the Phillies got me back to even for the day. What a roller coaster ride of late.

Ice I have had a bit of a bad run also, don't feel bad. I do not play the volume of plays you do, but since August 2nd I am 5-12 and -$8,407. Tonight I got 7 plays with 14,960 risked, It is real import for me to get going. GOOD LUCK TO the both of us!

Note my bad run also came after I had one of MY best runs.
because from the all star break to Aug 2nd I was 20-2 +$21,333

I went 11-39 one CBB weekend. During a year I did well. I try to bear in mind that there is ALWAYS an 11-39 streak waiting to happen. It isn't bad luck. It's the part of normal luck that keeps you from winning the lottery.

Masu485 · 08-13-10, 01:29 PM

the bad runs will ALWAYS come right after ur good runs. So whenever you have a good run... don't feel happy. because you know what's soon to be lurking up on you.

39-61 seems like nothing for a high volume bettor, IMO. FH's 17-83 seems more realistic for an awful run by a volume player.

I dont keep track but I swear im on a 1-99 stretch. I dont remember my last win which is why I havent made a bet since the end of the World Cup.

Betting 1% of your bankroll can drop one 30% of their bankroll during this stretch, that can be a tough pill too swallow sometimes. I am pretty use to all of the ups and downs of this and am big a believer in trying to handle the huge flucuations but this one was rough.

I have detailed records and I don't recall a bigger swing over a shorter time, not so much the down but the one directly after the up I guess.

Won 30 units and then dropped 30 units in like 10 days and around 200 bets total. Crazy swing for me.

Good news is things have went real well since this, has been little in between this month. That is usually how baseball goes for me.

sneak-a-peak · 08-14-10, 05:02 PM

Wow I could not imagine a 17-83 run! There would be absolutely no way I would survive a stretch that bad!

Ya its real amazing tho the up and down stretches we all go thru.

Recently went on a 55-38 tear but now I'm currently on a 16-29 run and of course am not happy about it to say the least.

Hopefully I start the turn around tonight!

jjgold · 08-14-10, 05:07 PM

I guess maybe 10-40, I have had a few of them

Most of mine are like 7-21, 14-29 type runs

Ralphie1412 · 08-14-10, 06:52 PM

JJ learn to add pal, they said 100
