Take a couple of days off to regroup and only bet when you get that 1800 figure out of your mind when placing a bet.

I would bet a $200 3 team parlay. It will pay $1200 or so.

Hell even if you lose, what is $200 when you are down $1800 already. $200 seems like nothing

See the thread I started earlier mentioning and understanding STANDARD DEVIATION.

This is something a gambler needs to understand to be the most successful gambler they can be!

Take a week off earn money. You need 3,000 to bet 200 on games.

Reduce bet size a bit, if you had 10k, and were betting $100, now have 8k, bet $80. Increase when you get it back.

Depends on your bankroll.....regardless, it never hurts to step out for a little while and track some air bets until you're back on track.

I started with a bankroll of 5K on Thursday and now down to $3,140.

Thanks for the advice.

Although I don't bet parleys, but it would be nice to play one and hit.

Thanks.

Well, you blew damn near 40% of your roll in 2 days-I'd take a break & reevaluate the situation.

That's a pretty damn rough start....if you keep playing, I'd cut the units back a bit until things turn around-but that's against the thinking of many.

Your bank is down 40%, you have to reduce bet, yes you can recover.

First off....How many of those 200 bets did you make in 2 days? Lots of people get strung out all over the map with lots of plays, which i think is the most Dangerous way to play. Those "lists" are devastateing if they dont win, besides if you go 5-4 you get eaten alive with the Vig.
Looks like you either were betting Every game on the board, or Never won a bet. Wonder which is it?

Next...Yes it is possible to recover from there with that much BR left, but its going to take time. 1-4 games a day MAX ! Have a Good week at that clip and you OUT !
College basketball forum here is loaded with cappers that are doing very well in the conference tournament. Sinse what you were doing is not working, take a day off and try something else. Looks as if it cant be any the worse.
