    i suck...
    i admit that now. i think an 80 yearold woman who picks sides based on the teams mascot or what color they like would have more success than me.

    i have cashed out a fair amounts of times at my book, though (usually $300 than i lose the rest that i saved).

    To make things even more crappy my bank found out it's a gambling site and blocks me when i try too add more funds with my debit card. now i have to use the pain in the ass ** optionn.

    Saying all that, this really is not a whining topic (maybe a little) nor is it a "poor me i'm broke" topic. i am not broke but if i were i wouldn't have made this topic.

    If you are still reading, this is my question:

    How with the success i had in the past and still betting the same way can i lose oh let's see... 3 weeks in a row and be about 1-40?

    how?

    thank you.

    You win some you lose some. The key is to get through those rough patches without getting destroyed. You do that, and you will be fine.

        try small moneyline dogs and wait till the game is over .

        wager one game at a time , 3 or 4 games per day equals 900

        to 1000 per year

          it's stressful because you never know when the winning or losing streak will begin. It could be anytime, lurking around the corner.

              aint that the truth. i also love talking myself out of winning bets and end up picking the losing side *i'm looking at you rangers/rays game 3*

                But why does this happen if you bet the same way? minus talking yourself out of winning bets and hedging. wait.... i just answered my own question. I was not betting the same as when i got rattled from all the losing i hedged too much and talked myself out of winning bets. i.e. i bet "safe".


                Sorry for quoting every one. just want to make sure you all see i appreciate your input. even more so with my horrible grammar.

                feels betrer now that i vented. from now on my only bets will be yankees winning. joking... i know im not fuuny.

                ill crawl away now. thanks all for reading this as the people i know would not understand as they are not degenerate gamblers.

                  bad choice of words. i'm a degenerate gambler. I'm not saying any of you are or maybe you were at one time and can understand.

                  I'll just stop typing now.

                    Dude degenerate gamblers are trainwrecks in the making....your choice is simple, it can be quick or slow and painful....but in the end you'll be broke, laying in the fetal position while sucking your thumb

                          True. this means a lot to me, though. when i win it makes my crappy life better. my last "win" was a hedge on the freaking 7th.

                          it still has not ended as if it did i still wouldn't be whining. live betting baseball at 5dimes is the devil. i've lost hundreds in the last month on that alone. i have my most success betting nba games. i should take a break till the nba season and only bet that but i have no self control. i'm ashamed to admit i have been betting nba preseason too.

                          i already put 150 on my CC tonight (never ever wanted to fund my account with that) and lost it. i know i have a problem. i don't agree with people who say "good for you. admitting you have a gambling problem is the first step" as i've known for a long while now and i'm not stopping unless all the offshore books ban me.

                          sorry for the wall of text. i don't even know what i'm trying to get advice on now. mainly i'm just venting and feeling sorry for myself.
