    oh and i forgot to add the okc thunder did this to me. not only have they buried me in the past due to durant being a moron (i'm sure you guys know what game im talking about) but many other times as well. really, this team if there was a ranking would be tops i think in terms of either putting a bettor on tilt or just making them go broke.

    Scared money don't make money.

    Now when you bet, it will lose. Then you will stop, and everything will hit again. It is the scared process.

    When you get to this point you need to just step away.

    Discipline is the key to making money in anything. If you don't believe you can make money then don't gamble. It's very simple, don't make it complicated, after all you're supposed to enjoy what you're doing.

    If you are scare losing money on bets, choose a unit size that you are more comfortable with. Like somebody said, you can't win with scare money.

    No one game should bury you. Go over your money management.

    Personally I went 1-11 when playing on the Mets last year, lesson learned, now a perfect 3-0 betting against the Mets and will pick my spots the rest of the year.

    sounds like u r risking too much money. cut your bet size, then throw it on a couple baseball games with low juice. odds are u will hit a couple and be ok. gotta get to the point where u can bet and walk away not caring too much. if u NEED to win, u will end up in trouble.

    I suggest you to stop gambling, or try to bet not much, for example few $ per bet.
