do u pull ur bet amounts back thinking it has to end soon, go balls to the wall and start betting bigger, or do you just keep riding the same bet style that go you where you are in the first place

No matter what, I at least make an attempt to write in english

Following that, until it is enough to cause a major change in bankroll (eg total net worth increases 10% or so) changing the way you pick or the money you risk is irrational. The side I bet on last week does nothing to change what is going to happen on the field this week

shdw01 style --> lower betting amounts....when your losses equal your wins then you will be in teh +'s using that advice


correct style --> keep betting the same....either same amount (flat betting), or raising by normal % (% of bankroll betting).......if you end up with a winning record then your bankroll will reflect much greater returns

Every wager should be a % of your current bankroll based on the edge you believe you have on the sportsbook.

First of all I bet using a modified kelly system and on horses. I always find that when I'm running hot my analysis is spot on and sixth sense is working well. Everyone who bets horses will know there is a sixth sense involved and when that is working well in conjunction with your analysis/ratings whatever then you need to be pressing your bets a little more which is what I do. You pretty much know when that small period is over so you can return to normal staking.

Typically if I analyse a race a make a horse a +450 shot and can get say 6/1[fixed odds] i might if on a hot streak make the horse +425 on my analysis and stake according based on Kelly.

I go the other way if I make something a +450 shot and it is +600 I change my percieved odds to say +475 and thus bet a reduced stake.

99% of the time when i am on a hot streak, i lose a game and start to panic and withdraw everything.

But, and this has happened to me every time, I go on a huge losing streak once the withdrawal has been processed. I am going through one right now, 1-11. My approach is the same like it was during the hot streak, but the ball or puck just isn't bouncing my way for whatever reason.

I really wish someone could psychologically find out what the hell is going on after that withdrawal.
