How many games have you ever lost in a row?

Started thinking about this since I went 0-5 yesterday.Picked a bad week to up the number of games I played.I rarely ever bet over 2 or 3 games on a Saturday. Hope this don't extend into Sunday!!!

I have had some cold streaks where I couldn't hit water if I fell out of a boat. I think I went a 2-3 day stretch where I was like 1-10, it was pretty bad.

Bet Tri yesterday keying Zenyetta with the field in a 6 horse field. $20 wager, 1 horse scratched so ended up getting 14.20 back. Hindsight should have known better than to make the bet as there were no real contenders in the race.

Went 1-9 in NFL one week back in '99 or 2000. I remember because the only bet I covered was the Saints, which I threw in strictly as a homer play.

Not positive of consecutive streaks, but I've lost 10 in a row and won 10 in a row, roughly.

I've been playing nearly every day for over 20 years, though, and I think those kind of streak are inevitable, even randomly, just based on the sample size.
