Sitting at 8 over the past 3 days. The gut wrenching thing is some of the games I am losing. SD the other night when LA went off...ST Louis tonight...and on and on.

Also, what is your slump buster? Do I need a fattie?

By looking at that avatar I would think you need a lot more than a fatty.


Better Luck. I just dumped 8 straight MLB, sat out a few days, smoked numerous fatties and am back in the saddle again. How lucky, had under, same game. Cutback if not paper play. Strangely that 8 game loser followed a real nice win streak. Like someone turned off a switch. I also rolled over to a different sport, NCAA football. Sometimes you click at one, not the other. Small animal sacrifice to the Gambling Gods?

Best Wishes...OF :howdy:

what, you not like Hof?:puppy:

I hope the weekend brings some better luck. Baseball has turned south and I will probably call it a season until the playoffs. We shall see.

I've seen 13 straight, I think that's the tops.

You only got to 8?

About a year ago I went something like 1-19 NBA in a day with quarters, halves and other stupid crap. Ha, try beating that.

16-17 here

If your in this business long enough, it will occur.

That is why it is RIDICULOUS to SLAM or SALIVATE over somebodys selections that have not released a minimum of 2000 plays.

1-5 years does not prove a person to be a good gambler/sportsbettor...........a lifetime does.

0-13, It might of even been 0-14, I try not to remember.Don't panic and start overbetting or underbetting, easier said then done. GL, if you win longterm it will change. I have won 17 in a row as well so I certainly know I can lose 17 in a row.:smoker2:

wow, some long losing streaks!

The one thing that has kept me alive is my discipline to bet 1 unit per game. This flat betting structure kept my losses down to only 8 units + juice during this time.

I went 13 straight losses in baseball, it might have been me. All 5 unit plays for a loss of about 70 units. Currently down about 16 units. I will be postive units shortly.

NFL, now thats another story, it going to take me a few months to get back to postive. :nopityA:

How about 3 years of losing money? Does that mean I may not be a bad gambler/sportsbettor?

Thanks for putting things in perspective.

Winning and losing streaks are all simply statistics and probability.

For a near 50:50 bet like ATS sports or Red Black roulette, for example, the top end on the longest winning or losing streak is 19 - 20 in a row. It would be easier on the bankroll if they were more evenly distributed but it is a fact that you will sometimes have wins or losses bunched together like this in long streaks. It is nothing that you are doing as a bettor, just probability. In the long run you are close to 50:50, but in the short run you may streak.

Of course, if you significantly increase the long term win rate to 60%, 70%, whatever, your maximum winning streak will be longer and your maximum losing streak will be shorter, completely due to the higher win percentage that you acheive.
