I say keep going, power through it. But most importantly don't stray away from sound money management. If your bank roll is getting smaller, which it will if you are losing, adjust your bet size to reflect the funds you have on hand. You should do this daily, it will slow the bleeding when losing, while increasing your winnings when winning.

I've been trying to stay away from politics, so haven't been watching the news, didn't catch the pun lol. Just over all the negativity.

Damn RC.....you made the mistake of thinking the thread with gambling in the subject in (what once was) a gambling forum was about gambling? Wrong again.....even those are (or will become) about politics these days.....about that poly forum....maybe we can add a sticky up top so those who are in search of dialogue in this area can find it?

No offense K11....this weekend was nice as for a quick moment we were back on message here at therx!

I am a streak player.. winning or losing. So losing two in a row to me means Stop betting for a week or so then try again. Can't speak for anyone else but that rule has saved me from some long losing steaks. It's all about what works for you.

I assume that's a serious question, KE. We've all been there.

It's hard to do because you want to get your money back asap but the answer is to take a break. A week or two when you don't think of sports in gambling terms. When you come back you will be more selective with a clearer mind.

When we go bad the mind tells us to bet games that we shouldn't. We need to reset the gambling mind.

At least that's what I need to do.

Good luck, man.
