I would imagine most people here are pretty intelligent right? I mean most on this site, I would assume, have a bit of a disposable income to gamble. You got to have a little smarts to have disposable income, right? I thought I was fairly intelligent, but I wake up every morning to sit down to piss, check my scores, and am amazed how I lose so many more games than I win. Every morning, it’s the same first words, “are you f-ing kidding me. You’re an idiot.” Anybody else been doing this for years?

I have been there brother. Took me years to have different types of discipline. I would take a small break, and let the games play out. Or, use fake money to get your confidence back haha. Also, best is to place 2-3 bets and not more than that. Pick only a few games that are being talked about and go with what you think. Also you can always try a different sport, but it’s up to you. Also change your wagers to half unit or quarter units. That way if you lose, you’re losing less, etc.

track everything and you might notice that you go on both winning and losing runs. Its hard to win if you bet everyday. You can have good win rate but you have to be selective and sometimes wait for weeks.

Welcome to the club! You are hooked into this and will never be able to get out until you lose your last dime. So you may as well enjoy your money while you lose it. Sorry to tell you what you have gotten yourself into. If this info helps you, I will be happy that it did. In early part of seasons of different pro sports, oddsmakers seem to put out soft lines that are relatively easy to win money on. As season progresses, oddsmakers catch up and make it difficult to find soft lines. So the key to winning may be playing only early part of pro sports seasons. College is a little different.

Good point Corey, but I’ve been doing this for 20 years. I love it, even if I lose buddy. It’s the juice man. I love the juice, the adrenaline. Every month I usually have one 4-0 or 5-0 night. Thats what I wait for. That’s why we come back. It’s exhilarating for a 40+ year old and 40 hour work a week guy. I’ll never stop unfortunately.

I worked the other side of the counter in "89" ....offshore ....Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic ....and when I came back worked for couple locals in Calif ....11/10 proposition ....13/5 parlays .....98.5% LOSE ....1.5% WIN ....minimum 500 bets ......-05 ...1/2 juice .....97% LOSE ....3%WIN .....minimum 500 bets .....so you have to be the sharpest of the "Sharps" if you expect to survive ......its a losing proposition if your not a professional ....
I would suggest you take a break ....look up Gamblers Anonymous in your area .....go to one meeting ....Listen ....Listen ....and Listen ....and if u dont like what u hear ....dont go back ....but at least give it a shot ....You will feel 100% better after you listen for 1-2 hrs ....
You can always go back to "losing" ....and the agrevation it causes anytime you like ....the door swings both ways....G/L

Been there brother, learned it the hard way over the last few months gambling more than over my limits. I’ve pissed away more money than I should have . Reduce your unit size, you’re not going to win. Have fun and sweat a few games

Only way you win, is if you limit your action. You get bored, you see a game on tv, you feel like betting it. Try to limit that action if you can. Find your best play and make it your only play. Sometimes there might be 2 plays, sometimes zero. If you need degenerate action, limit it to small parlays.
