I've won about 6 days in a row, and when you're going good, stuff like this goes your way:

Clev -1.5 +167
Clev TT over 5.5 +108

rain-shortened to 8 innings with CWS winning 2-1, so void

When it goes bad, all this dogpiles against you.

It's the streaks that kill many punters. Bad streak= overbetting ( chasing) to recoup. Good streak= overbetting ( pushing too hard) for too much, too quick !

I don't flat bet, but I respect some sort of sanity in amounts risked. This is what hurts many players.

If I could win $2-300 everyday that would be cool, it doesn't work that way.

Not sure what you mean Dub ? I'm trying to say inexperienced players tend to blow it wether running good or bad, they overbet either way, wether chasing or pushing.

Bet sizing is a tough skill.

This is a crazy streak, its like average 3k daily for about 8 days straight, I can't lose if I tried, but I know it can't be sustained forever. The streaks can go bad like that, been there, that sucks !

That's the killer, it feels real bad to go -3k in a day, but +3k is fine !

It's how you handle it, I probably don't win 3k Sat ( maybe I do with SIA lines ?). Probably not, an $800 day would be great by most standards.

Do ya lay back, or push ( sort of like chasing ? )

Do you ***** up and hold , or bet ?

I will be in the middle area, bet appropriate amount to bankroll !, depending on what lines I get !

That's the way you do it ! Took me a long time to get it right !:missingte

That has been my problem Doug. When I get on a winning streak I have a tendency to get over-confident and bet more. We all know what happens when the losing streaks come. I lose at a higher rate.

some sense of balance is required ! A little age and experience never hurts, sometimes you lose 7 days in a row ! been there, too !

Experience learns you how to handle extremes betterly !
