Is it me or does this happen to you too.........

You research certain systems, trends or whatever....come to the conclusion that what you find hits 60-70% over a long period. So you think you found something solid and when you actually make wagers on this system IT TAKES A SHIT!!!!!!  

I'm right there with you.  I believe it happens to most of us.  I think the only great systems are the ones that are best kept secret.    I feel I have found and tweeked a system myself and on paper I have done well the last few weeks.  I have an account elsewhere where I bet points only and have done fairly well for the most part.  I don't have any money in a account right now or I'd be betting money right now on MLB.  I can't wait to put money on this system come next MLB season. 

No, never happened to me. Not that dumb.

I know what you mean, WINNERZZZ.  I've had quite a few of those in the past, and I'm going through a losing streak right now where it seems that if I bet $1000 at plus odds that the world won't end tomorrow, I'd probably lose(don't worry, folks...I won't make the bet).   But here's the thing.  Even betting on an event that wins 6 out of 10 times over millions of trials, you will get a wide distribution of wins vs losses, and losing streaks are inevitable.  The important thing is to try to verify if it really is an event that has a 60% win rate, and how solid is that rate...is it based on 10 games, or 500?  1 year or 10?  You get my drift.

Actually, happened to me too. I usually quit the system if $$$ seems to not flow in the black early. Most systems require a lotta balls.

Maybe THAT's my problem.  I've only got 2!  How many do you need, bettor2win?

                                      

cald good money management snappa. u got that. 

Amen, Brother.  And a decent bankroll to start with.

Do you even read any of the threads on this forum??

this past baseball season I followed a good bankroll management and have done pretty good. I'm not a high roller but usually for me the shit hits the fan when I start increasing my bets. Never fails.. as soon I think I'm on that roll and start betting big the plays start losing.

hahaha so true, I can't count how many ideas and systems I have came up with and they test out like the fucking holy grail.  Then I paper test for a while and it just can't lose!
