    Default Time to say Good Bye....

    Well going to take some major time off. Got 1 bet pending Colts-Pats over 28 1st 1/2 ....I just can't win. When I do I get taken by a book.... I think I might Take off until bowl games in Dec. I just can't pick a winner. Tired off sending money out and losing, also my bankroll is very small, so a few losses really kill me.. I might just bet 25 bucks a game just for some action, maybe I will have better luck betting small. I think the last 2 years with books going under and all just really killed me. Bet4aces really put a dent in me they took me for 3200. for a 100-200 player that was killer. I also am having doubts about my plays, no confidence in my picks. I have been betting for 10 years finally it has caught up to me...

    Best of luck. After my 0-3-1 weekend I know how you feel. Taking time off is a good thing. We take time off at work right?

    that's too bad, i mean the getting taken by books part. i've been lucky, about 10 years betting and have always been payed. never ripped off by a book....... knock on wood

    hey JM, don't just say it but DO IT! Listen, I was in a downward spiral like 3 or 4 weeks ago. I couldn't hit the side of a wall. 1/2 pt losses, pushes the works. I took 1 week off. no betting at all. i still kept up with trends and so forth but no 1 wager. Came back and ripped off a 9-1 week. Time off clears the webs, reasserts confidence and the most important thing it avoids CHASING MONEY. enjoy a week off, take out the wife or girlfriend, catch a movie or read a book. Trust me man it helps. best of luck to you my friend. P.S. i too was stiffed by a book for 2700.00 and it sucks.

    JM good luck, bet small is a good idea. I will have a video later and just watch it and see how crazed I am and what gambling does.

    Dude we all know losses. I had a 5 team teaser lose due to s. carolina losing by 12 when I got 11 1/2. and then colts blow a 10 point lead with 9mins to play. that was a 2500 dollar difference for me. sucks@@@!!

    Sounded like your vocal chords were worn out from yelling at the TV on Sunday. I certainly thought the officials did a number on the Patriots. Almost like an NFL higher up told them to make sure the game didn't get out of hand.
