Im new to sports gambling, started at the start of the NFL season.  Usually just play "OLG Pointspread" in Canada on the parlay cards.  Im so paranoid of losing lots so i just bet a few bucks and hope for a big payout.. Ive been tempted to go to a sportsbook site every week but I just have a feeling id blow alot there haha.  Nontheless, this year i have lost 7 times by just one game and again that happened to me with college football. AHH just eats me alive.

My units have been cut in half because i cant afford much anymore. It sucks only playing 8 games in 3 weeks, but hell im not losing money either. Gambling is like smoking cigarettes, If you do it your going to get cancer. But what if you only smoke 3 cigarettes a week? You might not ever get it.

Very well said.    Excellent advice.....Be Selective

I was down 5k at end of October....then I stepped away for 4-5 days and vowed to be super selective with my bets...and I went on a tear in hoops and nfl....got back to even.   It felt so great!
 
Then I regressed to playing way too many games again....and I am in the hole for 3k again.
 
Gotta get selective, and stay selective.    Its a tough addiction....and its sometimes tough to have action on only 5 or 6 games per week....but it pays.
