    need some real advice
    been getting killed lately, probably one of the worst losing streaks ive had in my life(lost 50% of my BR over the last month) and its not just with capping games...cant get a break in poker or blackjack when i go to the casino...it just seems no matter what I do i am doomed to lose...however i am not going to let it beat me but as you read earlier my BR has lowered so i am unsure which would be the wiser choice lowering my standard bet? or try and chase with the money i have left because i am getting tired of this

      Stay out of the casino and lower your bet. This has been one of the easiest years to make money in football. You need to take advantage of it.

        and stay away from games of chance....low stakes poker is alright if you can control yourself.

        If you have extra money and a proven track record, have suffered significant losses, doubve your unit size....can't lose forever

              surely you are pretty riled up, so take some time off cuz you will lose your remaining BR if you don't.

              don't let your mind get boggled, tracker.

                    man, you guys are all giving this poor kid the worst advice. you are all tellign him to lower his bets.. take a break and come back strong and also telling him he'll make a comeback..

                    the accurate answer is that he should just swallow his losses and never look back. gambling is a -ev proposition for 99% of people and by him taking a break or lowering his bets won't do him any good. he needs to quit now.. for life.. it will only go worse and worse if he continues. he'll never recover. your advice was all bad..

                    you need to quit now before you destroy your life.. taking a break will only delay your losing...you will never recuperate that money.. and if you ever did, you'll end up back to where you are now when you continue again.. till you lose every penny you have.

                    swallow your losses now while you still have some $$ and let this be learning experience. you'll be back on your feet in no time.
