My 15 month drought that started almost to the day of hurricane Katrina is finally over.
I am officially out of the worst slump of my entire betting career.
I came so damm close to closing up shop for life its not funny.
I had a few moments here and there where I thought I was comming out of it, but I always went into another brutal tailspin.
I have had the best bowl season of my entire life so far. I have won over 90% of my bets this month in the bowl games. Not saying that to brag, im just so happy that im not losing 90% of my bets anymore.
Some of the ways I have lost games in the past 15 months, I could write a book on.
I had a really nice play on Boise St on the moneyline yesterday. When Boise st won in the fashion that they won, combined with all the other lucky breaks I have been getting the last few weeks, I knew it was over.
I finally remember why I got into sportsbetting again. I am finally having fun doing this again.
Its so nice to be able to make a bet with confidence again.
In the last 15 months, every game on the board looked bad. Now that im on a roll it seems like every game just jumps of the page as a good bet.
Its amazing how that works.
I was so bad off, that I felt like I could not win even if the game was on NFL REPLAY or ESPN CLASSIC. Thats how bad it got for me.
I started a "IM CURSED" thread about 3 months ago, when I was in the midst of this evil slump I was in, so im starting this thread to balance that one out.
I have learned more about gambling, and about myself through this slump than any other time of my life.
They say you learn more about yourself durring defeat than when you are winning. This is so true now that I have had to live it.
I have had slumps before, just like we all do. But I trully feel, that the run I was on, was getting close to record breaking.
If I posted my stats in the last 15 months, prior to this last month, people would say im lying.
My bad baseball season was just the beginning. It went so much deeper than that.
The only thing im ashamed about is the fact that I let it affect my life in a negitive way. There were times when I was not a nice person to be around. This is the most disturbing part about my bad run.
It even affected the way I treated people on the forums. There were times that I have been very rude to people over the last 15 months, if I offended anyone, im sorry.
I will never ever let sports betting bring my emotions down the way they did in the last 15 months.
If I ever have to go through that again, I quit.
I did not get in any financial trouble in any way, im still on house money lifetime. But I sure im ashamed of myself on how I let it affect my life in general.
I gained 15 pounds, I quit working out at the health club as much I use to, and I let it affect me socialy.
Please dont let any of this stuff ever happen to you. Its not worth it.
Anyway, just thought I would throw this thread out there. If anyone found it entertaining, good deal.
Good luck everyone, and go LSU tonight!!!!!!!!!
