    I'm Done
    Honestly, why do we keep betting on sports? It's just a losing endevour in the long run. There's no system that works, no capper that wins enough to offset the likelihood of losing all your money, and every single sportsbook knows that.

    And you know what? The're laughing at all of us. We should all be smart enough and close our betting accounts and find a new hobby.

                  That's my point. And every time I come back with a fresh attitude/strategy, I end up losing even more money while the stupid greedy sportsbooks get rich.

                              It's funny how many people think/say this after say, a 0-5 stretch, but after a 5-0 stretch, they will be on here touting themselves and games they never posted.

                                So you're saying your "SBR Pro" renewal application would be declined right now?

                                Seriously, shake it off. Take some time and do something else for a while. IF you want to jump back in, ask yourself is there one sport that you tend to do better with? Focus on that and ignore the rest. Otherwise, walk away. There's no reason to do this if you are not enjoying yourself. Best of luck.

                                  I dont know about all of you but i could lose everything in my account and not skip a beat. I consider it a hobby such as golf, the wife thinks golf is more expensive. I am allowed to reload if needed up to 4 times a year creating my sports gambling budget. If its gone its gone till the next season. Example of that is if i lost it all today on football i can't reload until march madness. need to set limits and truly not care about losing it all.

                                            Gambling is like any hobby: hunting, fishing, going to games, video games, going to the gym....they cost money. Except every once in a while you can get some money back. Stop looking at gambling as your ticket to happiness. Its not.

                                                The losing streaks suck...but you learn from them.

                                                Try to see what type of bets you do better at, and put more stock into those. This hobby is certainly not easy, but i do believe that with proper money management, it is very possible to make profit off of simply watching and enjoying sports.

                                                Its just like any athlete, when you lose, you need to have a short term memory. You cant be making bets hoping to break even or thinking you will lose. You gotta go into it with confidence, and when you're hot, ride it...when you're cold, bet less or lower your units. Just try to be smart about it...and i think you can win in both the short and long run.

                                                    Most bettors are sports junkies and/or introverts.

                                                    If you always watch sports and/or never leave the house, wtf else are you going to do? Be a worthless idiot who wears his Michael Vick Jersey screaming at the TV for a game he doesn't even have action on? GTFO and kill yourself: 100% waste of time.

                                                    Just don't be Brock Landers stupid and you will be fine.

                                                      If you are doing it for a hobby what's the big deal? Hobbies are meant for money to be blowed on them. If it was effecting your life where it was taking money away from paying bills then yes quit betting.

                                                              i would absolutely fukking love to hear why you think sportsbooks are "greedy" ... hell, they are providing you a service, they dont owe you anything more than what you win and they give everyone bonuses....please tell me why you feel this is greedy...

                                                              attitude has nothing to do with winning pal... fund more books, beat line moves and closing numbers and come to the rationalization that "capping with your gut feeling" isnt capping at all
