Ask yourselves........IF YOUR LIFE ACTUALLY DEPENDED ON IT....

would ........and could you have a winning month betting sports EVERY month?

My guess is well over half of you very well could.

Dubpoet · Jan 26, 2006

Yes! With a big cushion too

nimue77 · Jan 26, 2006

With 100% certainty, but I don't need my life to depend on it in order to do it.

ABSOLUTELY....

if someone was gonna KILL me if I didnt show a profit on any given month, you can be damn sure I woudnt allow that to happen....

lol

It is my belief that the majority of gamblers(sportsbettors) do not have this mentality, when indeed they should.

EVERY ONE OF YOU SHOULD HAVE A SENSE OF URGENCY TO WIN EVERYDAY!!

Easier said then done, but with this attitude, you will be much more successful if you keep this in mind and try to accomplish this.

We have ALL fallen to the temptation of not caring, being lazy, etc., etc..........and this should be avoided at ALL COSTS.

DO NOT ACCEPT LOSING.

GRIND AWAY.

not sure of the answer but I guarantee most everyone will say they could have a winning month. Most gamblers have a TON of self confidence in their gambling ability and feel that if they played more disciplined they would win, can't say 100% for sure if that is true. I know one thng this is the one "forum" that I beleive would have alot of people who could.

course...i'd start with 1$ and double up until i show a profit...there again...if the 1$ won...i'd have another month to live...

Easy ! make a $1 bet, win, quit, keep betting a little more until you win a game, quit for month as soon as you are up $1.

but what if you lose 31 days in a row?

Fish/others,
What is the longest or most current winning streak in months you have? I think it means alot to players confidence wise to read about someone that is a winning player, it shows it can be done!!!

This reminds me of living in Vegas.

Do not know how many times I have been out with friends and here them say......."Well, all that and ended up ahead only X or XX amount of dollars".

I would always reply with "Do you realize how many individuals in this town tonight wish they were up $1?

THOUSANDS..........THINK ABOUT IT!!

I've never had a losing month ice.

That would be the day you die. No limits mentioned so you could bet unlimited hypothetical money on huge ML favorites at the end of the month. If it's real money you have a problem after a few weeks.

There would be a lot less posters at the RX if that type of situation arose.

So true, action and greed kill most great days

Iceman · Jan 27, 2006

I think everyone needs to tell themselves no win is to small, it is a win.

Why do I need to avoid this at all costs? It's only money, and there are other things in life that are worth a LOT MORE - especially my friends, my parents, my wife and my son. It's all about priorities.

I know what you're saying, and I agree to a certain extent - just not the ALL COSTS part.

There are far too many things in life that make life enjoyable to live this way in my opinion.

If your life revolves around gambling and showing a profit, life would suck.

You can't win everyday ! This sounds like an endorsement to chase. What are you supposed to do... bet H2 of the Hawaii game for too much so you have a chance at closing the day up ?

Accept the losing day, win long-term not daily !
