    In my humble opinion, there is absolutely no ‘rough days’ in sports wagering, …rough weeks?  Slightly possible, but I go into any season expecting to win 75% of the weeks (Monday thru Sunday), expecting and knowing there will be losing days, but it is not really losing if we win the week,… is it?  No, not at all.  The issue most sports bettors have is they go into any/every day expecting, hoping, even needing to win every day they play, and feel as though they failed if they end up with less money at the end of the day, then they carry that the next day playing fearful, and desperate, which leads to ‘tilt’ and diminished bankrolls.  Usually once every 10 days or so I will give back $600-$1200 in a day, but if I end up that week at +$700-$1500, did it matter?  Not in my opinion anyway.  Peace brother, see you tomorrow (in a ‘virtual sense’ lol



    lol I'll save the diatribe and just state that maybe you just take things too literally or the wrong way sometimes.

    Thanks as always for the picks bud
