You have to hang in there. If it's gambling take a break, reduce bets. If it's life you have to keep stepping up to the plate and take your swings. As hard as it sounds it is only temporary. I think of people going through much worse than I am and how they go on. I know it sounds corny but things will turn around.

OK, no more reply's, this thread went in completely the wrong direction. I was waiting for something like, shove a 4-leaf clover up your ass or go lick a chickens butt, or something smart assed from BTJ, nevermind.

If you bad luck streak is at the track, then wait for the heaviest favorite you're going to see on the card and play it to show to break the streak :cool: Now if that don't break the losing streak then do the only sure thing...play the ALL-ALL-ALL trifecta wheel. :shrug: You may not win $$, but you will win!

Take a walk in the hood with a crack pipe in one hand (unfinished) and a hundred dollar bill hanging out of your pocket, and IF you get through THAT, nothing will ever be as bad in the future..

But if you have a thing for chicken butt lickin, then YOU DA MAN, do your thing...

Regroup.

Change your daily routine.
Exercise daily, ,or at least stretch.
Watch "Supersize Me" and quit eating Fast Food.
Buy a Fish Tank and work on it.
Cut off the TV for 15min a day and meditate, or just enjoy the silence.
Cut off the talk radio and actually listen to music in your car.
Commit a random act of kindness.
Buy your wife flowers for no reason.
Cut your neighbor's yard.
Quit smoking.
Learn how to play Chess.
Volunteer in your community.
Repaint the most used room in your house.

Just a few ideas, all aide self-esteem which is the key ingredient in "turning your luck around".

dunno bout you guys, but when i see things doing a downward spiral for me I....
1. Make sure I am alone in the house
2. sit in front of a mirror - naked
3. Jerk off wildly
4. Shoot my load on the mirror
5. Sit back, take a drink of beer and laugh at the poor Focker staring back at me with jizz on his face and thank my lucky stars I aint as bad off as he is.
