Anyone feel cursed when betting?

I feel like I am cursed because whenever I bet small, I win and win I bet big I lose. Today I didn't bet at all and went 90%.

I feel like it's just a circle or the money is just going back and forth. 

This may be in the wrong section but I'm hoping to get some feedback because I really do enjoy sports betting. I am just trying to figure out why I am only winning small bets just to lose it back.  

That’s your problem right there. You are betting different amounts. Stick to a percentage of your bankroll per bet and don’t change it. Even if you love a play so much, keep it the same and you won’t have that problem. If your bankroll is $1,000, bet 3% of that each play and see how you go. If you got a higher bankroll, then I wouldn’t bet more than 2% per play.

I see thanks! I really do need to just bet 1 unit every game. 

             Over the long haul this requires discipline from undisciplined people. Dude just gave you some of the best advice out there. Most people are action junkies with the need to wager every game. If I'm unsure about a game I should lay off, not throw money at because it is on tv, or any myriad of a dozen dumb reasons I come up with. If I lose one day, doubling up on the next wager is a recipe for disaster.  The tortoise wins the game, not the hare. Good luck out there.

 I usually follow the rule of 80% 1 unit bets, and 20% 2 unit bets.   And I have my limit of 10 units a week.    But that's just me, and it's just my fun money.

yeah it’s “scared money dont make money” or “you gotta bet big to win big” that gets me to risk my whole bank roll. I’m going to stick 1 unit betting to stay in the game!

jaiare yes what's happening my friend 

i almost never ever go on sites like covers or Pre-game anymore once in a while I try to help and post 1 or 2 games om Pre game

The Big Bets are called "Greed"...I do it all the time...and lose....I think just have the wagers all the same amount safer way to go.

 Its not just you,  very common.  5 weeks ago Lost a big bet and despite picking more winners then losers I took a large loss for the week.  I got more discipline and kept all my plays in the same money range and was profitable for 4 weeks straight including a couple of big hits.  made the mistake of betting way too much on raiders -2.5 vs giants now despite nailing patriots vikings +7 broncos 10.5 multiple teasers gb +7,5 and un 48  and titans +7.5  despite going 6-2 ats I need steelers ml tonight make a small profit, when if I would have kept that raiders game in the same range as the other bets I would be ahead by a lot.  Just try to remember the nfl betting season is a marathon not a sprint.

Happens to all of us. Multiple losers in a row, bad beat after bad beat. It sucks. I know it’s hard but sometimes taking a week or two off can get you back on the winning path. Best of luck. You will turn it around, just don’t chase. It’s a marathon not a sprint. 

I also feel cursed my friend, however regardless of the amount I bet it always looses. Be happy you win at all because trust me, sometimes I can't even pick a booger correctly

@AbsoluteUnit

 can u please post your picks please.  

Great feedback everyone, setting small goals is the key. When I think I have a lock, I'm just going to sprinkle just a little bit more. Nothing is ever guaranteed! 

so what is the pick for tonite?

It can mess with your mind...and get you into wrong footing, second guessing, desperation bail out bets and so forth....got to try and look at it as evey win is good win no matter the size of the bet and unmade bets that win, put out of your mind otherwise you get too bollixed up

Isn’t it funny when you hit a lower wager bet, your ego is like “damn I should have bet more”  I always try to tell myself it’s better than losing. 

I  bet the over 40 for MNF. Gotta bet slowly to build my bankroll. 1 unit every game. And this is for fun so minus well have fun, bears and over 'baby' parlay. 

usually the bet that I think is a lock every week is one of the ones i lose.

@JaiAre

 If your in a funk I would recommend not doing parlays. Good luck though. Hope you hit 

The over hits! 1-0 with this fresh new start!

The "I should've bet more" is punching me though.
