    How does this happen?
    I don't understand, i hit around fukking 60%, have great money management, only make system picks, never deviate from that, very disciplined, have won on a consistent basis week after week, although just 1 or 2 units each time.

    And now just two bad days in a row and i'm back at square one??? how the hell is this even possible?? i'd rather lose consistently and then win it all back a last ditch bailout play, than win consistently and then lose it all in a couple of plays.

    lost yesterday with Pacers and Stars. Lost today with Lakers, Rockets, and soon Stars again.

        How are you back to square one, if you hit around 60%? There must of been a "shot take" it there somewhere.

          i am doing the calculations because this makes no sense. I forgot to take into account a withdrawal I made last month.

          But still, this is very frustrating, winning consistently and then just a bad run to pull me all the way back down.

            I feel you, Masu.

            Mostly becaue you bet on the Stars. They're a total mess right now. When Benn went out, they were really hurt. But when they lost Brad Richards last week......basically, season over.

            I love the f***ing Dallas Stars. This collapse is completely breaking my heart......

              Your back at square one because of the withdrawal you made and you went on a losing streak. Think long term. Everyone has a bad streak here and there.

                  I know the feeling, its all about knowing when to pull out and just be satisfied with your winnings, then after a break head back in with a clean slate and apply the same principles.

                      this won't make you feel any better(probably will make you feel worse). I pretty much was in the same situation, except I had terrible money management. I built my roll up to $1100 starting with $300 and just got buried last two days(making some square bets and roulette(smh)). Stay away from the casino kids. Lost a huge chase play on sabres total goals(scored one ******* goal) and just bet my last 300 on calgary and now back around 500.

                      But ya, it makes absolutely no sense that you hit 60% and used good money management now back at even after losing just a few bets. Did you make a big bet somewhere?
