And by the way. Focusing too much on rlm or what percentage of the public is on a certain play etc etc is a fools game. You're wasting your time and energy.

I've been betting sports for almost 30yrs.I can still remember my 1st wager w a bookmaker.I took UCLA (-7)vs Nebraska 1988..Aikman was Sr QB for Bruins and Osbourne was still seeking his 1st NAT Title.I was a 16yr old betting thru mom's boyfriend.I mentioned to my grandfather & he jumped my ass so I didn't make another wager until 1989 football season& it started off real bad..Lost 660 which is a lot for a 16 yr old.I actually had my own bookie .Then I just tore his ass up.probably 9 out 10 weeks BC I discovered teasers & parlays.I hit a 200 dollar 3 g par like 5 weeks in a row.He banned me from 3game 10ppinters...I.was.raised by a single mo. Who had like 2000 a month coming in fromsocial.security BC my dad was killed.by a drunk.driver...Anyhow,to answer your question I lower all my amounts on my bets then if it still happens.I shut it down for a month sometimes not even following anything in sports .It refreshes me and I do it a couple times a yr..I will.do it too even of I'm winning.I went thru a losing streak from Thanksgiving2012 Holidays until right before CBB March Madness 2013 including CBB,NFL,CFB where I literally could not win a game..I mean I'd have the game won and Celtics wpd dribble off his foot...I could go hours on bad beats..U got to get the f outta there or just follow someone u really respect,but they lose too.Also,going down to 1 bet a.day has helped me...GL and sorry for rambling.

Las Vegas has more bankroll than you.  They are betting you will loss regardless.  Bankroll is just an illusion.  Maybe you last longer that's about it.  At the end you will loss l

Totally untrue.....bankroll is not an illusion. It's all you have that you can control with 100% certainty. No one can control outcomes you can only control your money and by that I mean your habits and your discipline with money. In the end if you are disciplined and patient you CAN absolutely win. I have won and will continue to. You can to if you learn a few disciplines.

I've stated this in other forums and will it state again here for the benefit of college hoops followers......,.the number #1 reason why bettors fail is beause they bet too much per game. It is the single biggest reason why 90% of all sports bettors do not succeed.

One example .....About a year and half ago I turned a 300.00 bet into 63,000.00......that's right 63K. Think like a business man and treat it as such. It's there for the taking, problem is, very very very few people will take the time Necessary to learn and master a difficult skill

My bankroll at the time was 50,300.00. I remember hitting the 100K mark then withdrawing 50k and bringing my account down to its original 50K amount.

before you go entirely broke and up borrowing to bet worst trap their is.

drop back to a small level to test the waters, get back on track and survive the rough time or simply take a break walk  away for a while rethink what it is you were trying to do in the first place.

bank roll management such a broad generalization it becomes a meaningless term. stop for a minute and find out
 what did work and why it is not working now.

For any of you thinking sure, sounds easy to do with a 50k bankroll. Here's the kicker......I Did it all off that 300.00 bet.... never had to access ANY of that original 50K.

I'm here to help those who want to gain financially.....,I'm not just telling bull s h I t stories for amusement. I should charge money for this stuff. Maybe a few readers will take what I've  said to heart and change their financial net worth drastically. Others will ignore and just toil along in their mundane daily job/routine
