    I am on the worst streak of my life...
    Something like 5-25 my last 30 plays. Can't hit anything. Already down $1300 to a bookie and deposited $400 at 5Dimes and lost it in 2 days. I have $600 cash left. Should I deposit that again and hope to double up slowly?

    No I wouldn't try to build up slowly. Parlay it and get all your money back at once

          I hear it's good luck to post your plays in players talk before the games start. I'd like to see some of these gems so I can get on the other side of whatever you're betting on!

            Two options.

            1. Take a break
            2. Pick games but don't bet until the bleeding stops.

                    Like someone said earlier that you should take a break because I think you are chasing your loses, and your confidence is down. It's never good when you chase your loses, because you just want action and action all the time to get your money back, and make picks that you really don't want to. I know that those are old advices, but if you still want action, how about doing less risky bets like teasers and money line so that you can get your money and confidence back.

                      confidence is very important. If you're not confident then walk away for a few days and re-energize your batteries. If you insist on gambling when you're low in confidence then I suggest you post your plays in here for the world to fade. I see no reason why going 25-5 is a bad thing for the rest of us.

                            Is this a rhetorical question, or do you just like to see your name in PT? Seems like people have given you advice here before, but you obviously choose to ignore it. So by all means, keep at it.

                              Had one hot month in October, hitting everything and winning everything. Been ice cold the last two. Gambling is just not good for your health. You need to take a 7 day down period to clear your head and start out fresh again.

                                Quit chasing and take a few days to clear your head, you will come back stronger. No Handicapping is better than bad handicapping, you are making your chances worse.

                                        Yeah, SBR - a sportsbook review and gambling forum - is paying someone to talk about how much money they've lost at.... sportsbooks! Really great business model there.

                                        Thanks for the giggle though

                                                I've been watching that Repo show and Pawn store or whatever the f it is on Tivo tonight. I swear I'm talking like a hoodlum now. I even heard someone use the word finna? fina? and I tried to work it into conversation with a friend who politely told me (after laughing his ass off) that I should probably find out what it means first. You'll need to bear with me for a day or two until I get it out of my system.

                                                  Pawn Stars is a really good show. Don't know about the Hardcore one though. The shitt that comes in is pretty cool.

                                                      I didn't know places like this really existed. I knew about pawn shops obviously but not ones who have people coming in trying to sell their dentures, a coffin, a stuffed dead dog, etc... And they're not all polite people! You'd think if you were hurting for cash, you'd be trying to schmooze the guys who have the ability to give you money for your stuff. Some of these people need to sit in the naughty corner for awhile but at least I'm learning new slang haha.

                                                          Rick has it set up really well. Dude has so many contacts to evaluate certain items that come through the door. So many civil war guns come through the door.

                                                            Even though those pawn shows and even that Pickers one is kind of trashy at times, the amount of stuff you learn about is amazing. Some of these guys have insane amounts of knowledge about things that I would never have guessed there'd even be a market for. I'd love to work in a place like that for awhile... not really dealing with the customers directly but just shadowing them as they evaluate stuff. Love learning things that I'd never be exposed to otherwise. Or really never even think to try to learn about on my own.
