After 3 very profitable years in a row in college football

harrington · Sep 18, 2005

I have started out 11-17-1 so far. I really feel like this might be the year I get my ass kicked. Should I??

Lower my limits and keep firing away or
Keep everything the same and wait for my luck to change

I am a nickel and dime player and it can get ugly pretty fast.

All depends what your bankroll is. If your a nickel and dime player and those bets still make up about 1-3% of your bankroll you sould fire away since you have the history of being above .500 in CFB. However if you're bets are taking up 5-10% of your bankroll then you should lower it for abit til you get your mind right. Feel good about your picks and making bets expecting that you win not making bets hoping you don't lose.

Just my opinion.

I am a very fortunate person, bankroll is not an issue.

I Lost 3 Very Large Bets Yesterday, 2 In Overtme (one By A Half Point) And The Tenn Debacle Last Night, Where We Saw The Volunteers Play As Bad As A Team Could Play And Still Barely Lose The Cover , Tenn Makes One Play In This Game, Or Doesn't Make Several Mistakes They Easily Cover....it Doesn't Get Any Worse Or Me.

Keep grinding away. Put in the time/work and things will turn around. 3 weeks is way too short of a test period. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Good luck :toast:

so then you mainly bet for the thrill of action since money is not a issue??

then no reason to cut back IMO

If you are that down on your capping then you should definitely lower your limits. I find that once you lose your confidence in your picks youre losses pile up. Wait until you get that good feeling back and then resume your normal levels.

I'd really cut back on the number of plays per week. Don't get too far ahead of yourself. I'd probably stick to a nickel a play if that is your normal play...I don't drop the amount per play unless I am down at least 20 percent of my bankroll (which thankfully being 11-5-1 this year I won't have to do for some time).

Good luck h.
