Guys, have to say .. Ive been on a bit of a "Raiders" recently ... three solid weeks of losing pretty much all my bets ...

I felt like I couldn't buy a winner. So, I stripped back, stopped chasing winners and made it a point of principle not to lose a single bet. Im not joking ... I would take every single bet ultra seriously and if I even got a hint of "probably" Id back off. Every bet has been "I just dont believe this will not happen".

Yes, its been 1.6 to 2.3 range but ... 9 bets, 1 loser (and that was Porto 2-3 Bartislave (AH) for any European punters who will appreciate the 'shock value' there).

So, Im here ... and Im happy.

The moral? ... if you are ever feel like you're on a "Raiders" and can't stop losing money .... it doesn't mean you can't do it anymore, just check for bad habits. I did and i am so pleased I didn't just go with "my luck has got to change".

This forum ahs been good for me ... I was beginning to think it was a curse but, hey, maybe not.

Good going guy

The less games you bet the more success you have

Whether it's brilliance or just the natural ups and downs of sports betting, I'm happy for you.

Aw hell, let's call it brilliance.

Thats interesting ... less games - I wish it was that simple (for me, I trust my percentages ... as in, out of 6 games I will guess my prediction more than 3 confidently which is why I remain an addict of the parlay ... yes, I know, the pro's enema). But, hust maybe ...

Ups and downs ... maybe I am less experienced but ... when you win week in week out then bet with confidence (no stake raising, etc) ... however, when you lose 1, 2 then 3 weeks then it is time for re-assessment.

I do not believe any sport remains the same year in and year out (and especially football/soccer where there is a high quality game somewhere in the world 24/7) ... there are trends .. and that is the cornerstone. But, hey, we all need to be lucky sometimes ... I am sure you know the feeling, when you're winning it becomes sort of routine but to break a losing streak big time is a great feeling ...

I know some guys dispute my theories but more times than not the guy betting less plays will see better success

Nice job today. I just hope I don't have one of those runs. Three straight weeks of losing can hurt.

That's an amazing feat. I'm not sure if that will ever be broken.

Yes, no more 'Raiders' runs for me ... I have faced my mistakes whereas you probably are one .. no more 'raiders' for me
