Losing first 5...

Losing first 5 and then winning last 5 cuz when u lose ur first 5 you think you're fukked for the day and you feel u must hit every next bet to stay above water.

When you win ur first 5, then the last 5 losses will still suck but to me is less stressful knowing that the most you could be down is juice.

I've honestly never lost 5 bets in a row.

Then you truly are not a degen like the rest of us.

Betting 10 tickets in a single day is about the norm. How you have NEVER lost 5 in a row is beyond me, if you fill up your card with plays daily.

True, I don't play every day, and I've never had more than 3 plays on the same day. I prefer to pick my spots and pull the trigger when I feel a play is high percentage.

I'm going to take your word that you've never lost 5 in a row. But I am curious... how many plays would you say that includes? If it's only 10... I'm not surprised. If it's over 100 I'm very impressed. If it's over 300 I will gladly pay you for your picks.

Careful, he could be playing -700 moneylines.

Solid point... I forgot to mention that.

It's worse to start out losing first. When you win you feel like you are playing with house money. When you lose you are like FCUKKKK, I just want my money back. I was just unlucky/bad beat.

In a year? Probably under 100. I'm flattered, but I would never consider selling my picks. I don't even post them because I don't want to lose sleep at night if someone happens to lose money tailing.

Rarely do I fire on worse than -150 odds. I look to minimize my exposure while making high percentage plays.

Losing 1st 5 is big pressure
