Never had a streak like this. Need to take a few steps back. Some people are just not to be lucky, I have to believe there are far better things to do with the $$$ I'm blowing. I might even sign up with a service, to get some of my cash back.
Done!!!!!

i'm with ya smash it has been a very brutal start to the baseball season for me as well....hang in there, the tide will turn just lower your units until it does..
Good advice. I could have gone on a great trip withe money I lost in the last 2 weeks!!! This is fun money for me, but wasting like this doesn't seem worth it.
smash...spot your plays..in other words sit back relax and dont bet until you see a game you really really like...look into it...and hit it hard...everyone goes through tough patches...and this is a strategy i have used... usually i begin second guessing my plays..so thats when i take a few days off and wait to see something i really like...hit it and get some confidence back....thats just the way i deal with being "cold"...everyones different but good luck with whatever you do...cooz
TAKE A DAY OR TWO OFF REFIGURE YOUR BANK ROLL
and tuck in behind some of the strong guys on here to earn back your cash, sorry not trying to preach just want to help and I do mean EARN, the jackpot mentality is a pathway to ruin. I am not saying you were in jackpot mentality just warning against it AKA as chasing your losses.
Watch for some of my OVER the total plays I am very selective with them have only played six of them so far going 5-1 + 8% of bankroll.
I use a percentage plan with 2/3/4 % plays others set a fixed unit. No shame in loseing streaks we all have them.
I don't post many of the numerous side plays I make or some of the totals as I don't want others to lose on my action stuff.
Best of luck to all.

Nope. I thought baseball was the easiest game to win at ....bull chiggers. when does football start again ?

advice above is the same almost take a few days off first,everyone goes through streaks good and bad its part of the game,and cooz was right ifnot you will 2nd guess yourself and it ishard to win. baseball it a game to play spots you don't have to play everyday.
and its early teams are still feeling out eachother and are making adjustments you get a lot better read in mid may.
hang in there and good luck.
ps you don't join a service to get your money back:nono: that money is gone if you start chasing you will really be upset,you play to win and look at it from week to week the past is over if you try to grab it back you will press and really screw up.

The only bright spot I can find is that this is purely risk capitol and It's not the mortgage or car payment. Thanks for the advice. Fletcher and everyone else. I will be coatailing for awhile and Studying hard.

Good advice from eyeryone above me. One other thing. Are you gambling because you want to get rich? Don`t think so. You probably most of all like the "action". 1$ -10000000000$ ,It`s the feeling of "Beating the Man". Cut back your bets. Don`t get hurt . You still get the same satisfaction of winning. Still think, It`s better to win a little , then lose alot. GL bohawk
bohawk Give me a paddle !
Give me a paddle !
I'm in the same boat.
I was doen 11.9 units going into today, so I bet Toronto for 6 units to win 4.
Can't under stand the coaching decisions in the 7th and 10th innings, the pitching decisions were way against the norm.
Nevertheless, I lose 6 units.
Took a 2 teamer with OAK/SEA. Unfortunately, Appier is the Messiah today. I lose 2 units.
Took the sure bet today: Winds blowing out at 30MPH in SF, with MILW having a BAD, BAD, flyball pitcher on the mound, vs. SF, who has a phenominal ground ball pitcher throwing. SF littered the bases all day with runners, and give up a 2 run lead, to give the game away in the 7th. I lose 7.2 units.
Last bet is SEA/SF 2 teamer. Same result. I lose 2 units.
Bottom line: I LOSE 29.1 units this week. I coulda took a cruise for the 3 dimes!!
I hate to give up so early in the season, but...............
I bet dogs early in the week, and got killed, so today I bet some chalk, and get that broke of in me.
WOW I feel soooo lost.

I feel soooo lost.I'm Capping as we speak because I don't want to be on the outside looking in when the worm turns.
and DO NOT play the consensus picks in the forum.
i have been tracking them.
if you coat-tail, coat-tail a particular individual ... not the majority picks.

I started off redhot and finally went into the negative today. My last 9 losses were all so close and the side I took was either ahead or tied as late as the 7th inning. Seems like all the little things like bad base running or bad coaching has cost me on about 10 games in a two day span. Never felt so jinxed on every single play. I suggest taking a couple weeks off, that's what I am doing. I am going to watch all the games closely on my satellite, give the pitchers a couple more times through the rotation and get a good feel for the bullpen and the managers use of it on every team. I know last season I had about 10 different 8 game winning streaks, right now every things seems so uncertain I have to get a better feel for it.

Big_Mack,
i'm talking about playing the concensus plays of THIS forum.
that is, taking a tally of every posted play by everyone who posts a play. use that for a concensus play.
if it went 3-0 on Sunday i would be amazed. i was tracking it since the beginning of the season up until last thursday. in the top 5 plays, a good day was 2-3.
and yesterday mratings went 4-10
hang in there
hang in there
I had a run like that in ncaa hoops went 3 weeks on a loosing
streak.
Went back and refocused cut my plays back stayed with my standard amount. Had to force my self not play get back bets.
Starting back on a upswing here in Base balls& NBA.
Take one play at a time
Don't play get back bets.
GOOD LUCK SMASH

sorry to hear that the weekend was bad for many-
it turn's out I lost my ass too
I mostly stick to a money management system where you bet a little more after you lose, then bet a little less after you win
It has worked for me and when I bet recklessly on sure things I get buried
I went into the weekend, up +20 units
Now I am down -5 units
My biggest mistake was betting 10 units on a sure thing with Toronto(-150) over Tampa Bay with TB getting all the breaks and winning in 10
My other 2 sure things that I didn't key up on were NY over Boston and Phil over Cinn
I parlayed Tor - NY and Tor - Phil
How unlucky can you get?
Anyway, back to the money management system for a while
It really sucks losing and let's hope things turn around
