In the past 19 days I have placed 121 wagers, going 48 wins, 71 losses, 2 ties. I have placed wagers on MLB playoffs, NHL, NFL, College Football, and NBA. I have placed wagers on spreads, totals, moneylines, and a few parlays. I have not been placing wagers on just a few teams that have coincidentally been on a losing streak. I wager on many, many different teams in many different sports. Just considering the wagers that I either won or lost, I have won 48 out of 119, which is a win percentage of 40.3%. I have won only 2 out of every 5 bets. Almost every single one of my wagers are on odds of -110 or greater. I like to bet on favorites, not underdogs. In the past 19 days, I have wagered in 17 of the days. I have had 5 winning days and 12 losing days. Has anyone ever been on a worse losing streak? How bad is my losing streak? Am I jinxed?
Well its only been over 3 weeks and about 1 unit per day...I would think you would know by the amount of recent wagers this sort of thing does happen....I had an awful run the first half of this season...Losing every which way, and last year I couldn`t lose at all for months...It will turn around....Do you post your plays daily?
Fishhead: thanks for the encouragement.
Journeyman: I don't post my plays daily, maybe in the future.
The General: thanks for the tips.
I don't recall having a worse losing streak. I'm guessing my average odds per wager over the 121 wagers was around -120. I was thinking if there were 100 people placing 121 wagers at -120 odds, 48 wins would be the lowest amount of wins. It's like winning 2 out of 5 everyday for 24 straight days. Does anyone remember having an equal or worse losing streak over a 120+ wagers period?

I have had samekind of losing streaks in the past, but after I started to play wisely (better power ratings, limit wagers...), not so worse results. But still, I have a losing streaks.
About a week ago I was on very long winning streak, it didn't matter was it a favorite or a big dog. I won almost all of my bets. Then the things changed totally and I started to lose. Now it seems like I can't hit it correctly, was it a heavy chalk or a dog. Yesterday was an awful day, I went 1-5 on soccer bets.
Worst game was West Ham at home against West Bromwich and I had a bet on homeboys. West Ham was leading 3-0 after 18 minutes, but somehow the result was 3-4 after 90 minutes. I just can't beleive it. A soccer match which usually ends 0-0,1-1,1-0,2-1 ends like this.
After a massive losing day or a losing streak, it always feels the same. Is it a worth to do this crap? Updating databases and predicting new bets is very frustrating. Nowdays I have enough sense to stop betting for a day or two, when I'm on a losing streak and that way I have cut my losses.
