Do you ever just stop betting when you are on a hot streak?? Do you lower your bet amount?? You always here of people taking a break after an extended losing streak but you never hear of someone stopping because of a winning streak. And lets face it all streaks good or bad end. Thoughts??

Enjoy it. I increase my wager size when playing on house money. However, as soon as the streak starts to turn I stop.

First of all congratulations. As to your question, no doubt you have the ability to recognize when the hot streak comes to an end which it inevitably will. Once you recognize that, stop gambling, collect all your winnings and take a nice break until football season. Been there done that many times over.

Normally I am in that mode now but I started to bet NBA and NHL playoffs and have really been tearing it up. Since the finals for both are almost here I guess I'll put a few more wagers in and enjoy the summer. Hope all is well with you Ted.

It looks like the only time I will stop gambling is when they put me in the box......I've been gambling for 35 years and once you do something that long that's just the way it is.

boat don't take this as a prick comment, as lord knows my spelling is horrible, but do you intentionally misspell words or is English not your first language?
I thought he was making fun of Harrington's misspell of the word hear in his third sentence. Yet he spells it correctly in the fourth sentence.

(wags finger from Florida)....There is no such thing as "house money".

If it's in your hands and/or account, it's YOUR money and it's best to treat it that way, eh?

I for one preefer to wager on a three tier system....for example, 10, 7 and 5

If I pull a good day using $10 units, I drop down to $7 so in case of a reversion to center, I can still be ahead. If I win again at 7, I drop to 5 for same reason. If I happen to pull the third day at $5, then I go back up the scale to 7 and then to 10.

The idea is that if I (for example) go 3-2 at even odds, then I can follow up with a 2-3 and still have a modest profit.

Whereas, if I go 6-2 (I'm HOT!) at $10 and then bump myself to $20 and go 3-6, I'm down on money even though my combined results are 9-8 at even money odds.

My advice is don't bet anymore or less than you normally would; using some form of modified Kelly (full kelly has always seemed too risky to me)

Disect, if possible, what influenced your pick starting with the intial win. Recall every thought you had about each game prior to post time. Spend a few hours or even days. You might find a very small edge. Very small edges are the difference between the 2 symbols below.

+,-


If that's too much work, and you roll dice when you pick, I would have liked to have been at your table pressing sixes and eights.


GL+, and enjoy.

Got white hot during the last 2 weeks of NBA regular season when teams were playing for something and others packed up for the year. Wish I would have slowed once playoffs began because I gave it all bacl and then some. The 'sense" of when it was over eluded me and I paid dearly for it.

After having Chicago last night this might be the time to take some time off.....Unbelievable to lose that game. But I really love Boston tonight to win game 7 at home. Not a big fan of laying -150 but I really love them tonight.
