I know what you are going through. Several years ago I lost every day but one in January, too.  Baskets can be that way.  I was so confused I finally decided to pick who I liked and bet the other side!  What happened then was even worse.  I couldn't decide if I liked a team because I thought they would win or because I wanted to bet the other side!  I was twice as confused and did even worse.  Rather than throw in the towel, I cut my maximum bet way, way down to almost nothing.  Then one Saturday, I picked 17 straight winners!  All for a mere pittance since I had cut way down.

Im going through the same stretch as u buddy. Since the new year im down almost 6k (betting $100 - 300 per play). However it seems that my luck is starting to turn around. I hit pacers and over big on sunday and I hit cuse ml and blazers under yesterday. Im now up 2k since my bottom. Still a long way to go but a start. Looking back at it now my problem was that I was trying to force action on teams I was not too familiar with. Take a step back and try to look at your plays objectively ... Youll be surprised at how many mistakes you made.

Good luck in the future ...

Money can be won again but time is something we can never get back.  LIke the other people said, just play small and don't go crazy.

 Like sloop said, it doesn't have to be all or nothing.  U need mental toughness to last in this hobby or profession.

It's not easy, but the risks are sometimes worth the rewards.  It might be better to quit for your mental well being though and just try to have a life filled with less stress.

I can understand how u say when u win, u still stress.

I was on northeastern and cincy last night.  Cincy was my play and i tailed Kine on Northeastern and his logic made sense.  Both covered the number for vast majority of the game.  I would probably play Cincy in that same spot again. 

Take a week off.  Keep capping and just bet with fake units or something.   Best thing to do when on that kind of streak is to not CHASE.  This all or non strategy is destructive.

i don't know about everyone else but i try to learn from every single loss. I write down  every daily win or loss and try to explain to myself why i won or loss.

The key for me is to learn from the losses so i don't make the same mistake in the future and try to learn from my mistakes so i don't repeat the same mistakes over again and repeat negative history.
