Increase 1 unit every win and decrease 1 unit every loss and 1 game at a time. This helps me avoid chasing on a bad day, gl!

I tried last week...I had bet 400 and lost then went to wu and gave them another 700 and hit it...the 700 was a straight up and 400 2teamer...so I bet 100 straight up and hit it and then I bet 3 2teamers for 400,300,300 and the rest were straightups, my final bet was for 600 on the LA Lakers +9 vs Miami...the parlays got me

Your problem is right there. I havent pay my bookie since OCT of last year.  Everyweek im cleaning up.  Follow me on my thread I can help.   DONT TEASE, DONT PLAY FULL GAME, DONT PARLAY, DONT PLAY 1st HALF, DONT PLAY QUATERS.  ONLY PLAY 2nd HALF. 

Think of sports gambling as a marathon.  The harder you run, the faster you will die. w 1k you can turn it into 15k in no time. Don't aim high, just try to win 50$ or 100$ a day. You will see how fast they add up. gl

This is chump change money in real life.  Focus on getting a good job.  8 grand, 16 grand, 50 grand....This is chump change.  Get a good job, you can make twice that...You are playing for chump change.  Who cares if you made 8 grand? Don't you want to have a 75k a year job? Get out of this website.  You are not going to quit.  You're going to ruin your life.  FOCUS ON GETTING A GOOD PAYIN A JOB.

Think big, what if you hit a 20 grand parlay tomorrow? Does it mean anything in the long term? Isn't having a steady income, 401 k, and a great job better than hitting any 20 grand parlay? FOCUS ON THE JOB.

Change your avatar, change your life, focus on girls, jobs, video games, whatever.....ANYTHING BUT GAMBLING...The money is gone....You can make it back, but you have to work.


THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FREE MONEY.

You have to work.......WORK WORK WORK

Quit betting f*&@'n parlays bro!  You said you had a 4-teamer, hit three out of the four and lost because the Texans "screwed" you.  No the Texans didn't screw you, you screwed yourself.  You bet those all as single bets and guess what?  YOU WON 3 OF 4 AND TURNED A PROFIT!

It's simple...parlays and teasers = the books best friends

At most, I hope that you have learned something from your losses.  Good luck in the future.

You wil be ok aminorabino. Just take a week or two off. When you start back betting stick to the basics remember what you were doing when you were winning you will get back on track. Don't look at it is being in the red start off fresh. sometimes it more mental than anything take your time goodluck

Give NHL a try... I find it easier to cap... And lay off the Parlays until you build up a nice profit... I personally don't see anything wrong with 2 teamers... You have to have proper strategies and stuff though.
