well boys i dropped 140$ today. bets looked pretty promising early but ended winning 1 wager out of 5.

let's recap...

blue jackets over 2.5 goals...probably my best bet..they hit 4.

hawks over 2.5 goals...too much fixation with team totals and lately they haven't been coming in. 2 in the 1st and diddley shit after that

panthers over 2.5 goals....florida no 3 goal game in their last 9. i figured they'd hit today against the defenceless thrash. lo and behold another 2 goal 1st and **** all after.

isles over 3...maybe not a good play but with the rookie tender in there..i thought maybe a push at best. and doesn't it always seem that rookie plays solid or the opposing team can't solve him...either or...

flyers over 3....see above. wild with a rookie...philly ...dick shit for goals.

i lost about 700$ since i came here..i guess the gambling gods are telling me something. gonna try the numbers games at 5 d's for a bit. less risk..more reward.

see yeah later...hope you can get something going cause i sure the hell can't.

too bad man. hockey is just too unpredictable. i think i will be laying off as well. have been doing much better in college basketball. screw losing money on the nhl. i will just watch the games for fun

we all know the streaks of gambling. i was doing pretty good for awhile.
it's the games you pick correct..you don't play and the 1's you do play don't hit. that kind of crap..the ..i should have..why didn't i scenarios.

i like playing the pick 3 game. that's why i chose 5 d's. you won't win all the time of course. i've won a few nice 900$ and over 1000$ payouts on a buck or a bit more.

next week the new moon phase begins. it is proven that triples(111...555..etc) do show up during the moon phases. if anyone plays at 5 d's throw a few cents on these for tri-states...

tri states midday...000,111,222,444,777, and 888.

tri states evening...111,222,444,555,666, and 999.

both of these draws haven't had a triple in over 700+ days combined. they can sit longer but hey a 50 cent bet wins you 450$ if it shows up.

go to 5 d's lottery room and click on maine. maine is 1 of the tri states. not much of a risk when we throw away 100$ on sports

Winnipeg, don't get down dude. You'll bounce back I think a lot of people had rough days yesterday (including me). Some time off might be for the best though, sometimes you gotta refocus. Good luck though man.

Lower your units to something very low (I am talking like $5) and start betting all those games you wanted to bet. Should allow you to take every position on the board. See if you do better.

My guess is no however. Generally I see cappers do best when they focus on less than 5 games. But then I hear a lot of "shoulda played this, why didn't I play that". It's just negative attitude and you can't let that get to you. I go 1-4 all the time man. You have to be able to survive those days. If a day like that hurts you, you need to either stop or lower your units considerably. If you have a $1000 roll and you are betting $10 at a time, a 1-4 day does not hurt at all, it just makes you want to get back on the horse and figure out how to do better the next time. You've gotta think long term growth, not short term "double your roll".

Too many gamblers start betting at $20 a game win for a while, then quickly move to $100 a game and then go 1-4 and say "screw it I can't win at this" when realistically you are probably hitting 50% on -110 lines. Short term variance when betting 20% of your roll will knock you out immediately. I've tried telling my friends this many times and they just don't listen. Action bettors.

Better luck in the future Winnipeg.

It's been a tough few weeks for me as well man, just take a breather and wait til you're back home and get back to work.
