    Drives me crazy. Today I liked Mets (too high chalk), Houston, KC (lost last 2 nights with them but don't like Davies), Florida.

    Hate when I play losers and pass on winners

      welcome to my world..

      that's all it's been for me lately.. i like 10 games.. i play 6 of them, go 1-5, the other 4 i dont play, go 4-0..

      this one is even better. last week i saw i liked 12 games the next day.. ddin't check the times they started, i dont know why.. i come home in evening to play them.. find out 7 already started in the afternoon. had no idea they were day games.. those games went 7-0.. no joke..


      ddn't play the remaining 5 games i had, cause i was pissed. so i played 4 totals instead. i went 0-4.. and my remaining 5 games would have gone 4-1, NO JOKE.. i wish i was making it up.. instead of going 11-1 like i was supposed to on my 12 bets.... i go 0-4 on the day.. i cost myself 14 units, and killed my whole fukkin year.

      this happens to me so often these days. when it goes bad.. it goes bad..

              Your bet size should be a % of your bankroll so that you can play everything you like.

                  durito is known for this usky, dont you know this by now..

                  just check my youtube vid thread yesterday.. i think durito came in with 14 total posts saying, he wins in gambling and i am a fool for saying gamblers who lay -110 lose.. he kept on reminding me how sharp he is and only bets the best lines and cleans up..

                  durito might be insecure..

                          durito,

                          you are nowhere as bad as donny juan.. omg, this donny boy kept on saying throughout the thread how he wins. he kept on reminding me and everyone how successful he is..

                          you were not nearly as bad.. you were just in this thread arguing with englishmike about how you beat the books by betting + expectations and so on.. i might have been hard on you, sorry. you were a little bit like this, but not that bad.. the real guilty one is donny juan.. this guy mentioned probably 23 times how gambling is beatable and how he beats it constantly.. i think donny boy is the insecure one..

                          here is the link of your posts, durito..

                            i never said I win

                            all I said was winning is possible and that sports betting is not "random" as english mike continued to allege, which you of all people should understand.

                                durito, of course i knew that mikey was wrong from the moment he said it's all random and like flipping coins and if you notice, i didn't even jump in once.. but you guys were having such a good time, i didn't want to ruin the party.. i think everyone here knows or should know that it's all about value and getting the best price at all times, even if a game is -550 and it loses..

                                  so what exactly have I done wrong here.

                                  my post in this thread were in reference to this:

                                  my bankroll is short cause i had 2 bad days in a row, couldn't play everything I liked today.
                                  if this is true, the OP is betting WAY too much per game

                                      i used to hate when the plays i passed on won but then i started to mature gambling wise over the yrs and realize that hindsight is always always always 20-20. look, if you really liked the play before it started, you would have bet it.

                                      coinflipper likes heads, but says tails is a 50-50 shot, so he passes on the coin flip, then it lands heads and he says DAMN i liked heads.

                                      same thing in sports. "liking" a game doesnt mean shit, i like a lot of games, its the ones we have the knowledge + balls to bet that count

                                        Ha, i even googled it to see if i was spelling it right



                                        since it got hits, i just assumed it was right

                                          as humans, we have a tendency to remember all the games we would have bet that won, and we forget all the games we would have bet that lost, its called the survivorship phenomenon or something like that

                                            Its frustrating at first but you cant think about it too hard. It works itself out with games i like but don't play them and then those games lose.

                                                  I suck, got destroyed yesterday, especially on the 4pm and later games.

                                                  And yes, I'm betting too high a %

                                                  How do you go from betting $150-$300 a game, to betting $20??? Can't do it. That's why I can't handle a cold streak.

                                                    is there anything worse than being a 300 dollar bettor, go 0-6 and have only 100 bucks left in your acct, then be forced to bet 20 bucks a game, cause you have hardly any money left, and now,you go 5-0, followed by a 8-1 following day and you only make barely over 200 after going 13-1, and knowing that had you made your 300$ bets, instead of being up close to 4k now, you are only up 200.

                                                    nothing worse than betting way way below what you usually bet and getting hot..
