I've had an amazing three month run. Cashed out several thousand dollars from various books. Now it just feels like I'm chasing action. Ran a $400 balance recently up to $1600, only to run that down to $1000. Withdrew $800, which is great. Lost $200 on Tuesday, betting shitty MLS soccer of all things. Reupped for $100 on Wednesday, and promptly LOST that on Thursday. So I threw another $300 in yesterday, and ran it to $500, only to drop it back down to $350 today on stupid parlays, ANOTHER MLS bet, and then chasing with Cincy. I know these lines in the tourney are unbeatable, it's just STUPID to try. I knew I had a great couple plays yesterday, and felt fortunate to win those, but then today, just can not resist the urge to play. Just feel stupid.
Tomorrow morning, two of my favorite teams play, Liverpool at 6:30 AM, and Washington at 9:15 AM, and I'm unable to watch the games, and enjoy them without having action. They're both decent enough underdogs, so I'm sitting here in the degenerate haze of "oh, parlay them for 6-1 odds," and "bet them both straight up, and as long as one wins, you're profitable!" I really want to grind my $300 deposit up to $1200 or $1000 and cash out, but I just lack the discipline.
I used to be a player that would deposit $25 at a time at Bodog, and mostly lose, with the occasional win, but now that I've tasted success as a $100 bettor, I just feel like I can't go back to betting a measly $10 a game. I know I need to stay disciplined, and only play where I feel I have a legitimate edge, but DAMN, IT IS SO TOUGH!!!!!
