What is your worst losing streak?

OK, I have been at the mall going on 5 years and I don't contribute like I used to anyway, I am currently on one of the worst losing streak of my life. 0 - 18

18 losses in a row

It has depleted my bankroll and I am about to tank out.

I am placing 2 more wagers and I will call it quits for awhile.

Has anyone had a worst losing streak?

BTW, I am multi-sport bettor to include soccer

GLTA (and me)

18 is pretty bad Cisco, damn! I have had a few bad ones back in the day but don't remember losing more than close to 10. Good to see you around and hope all is well

Thanks Doc,

Brother Love,

I did, actualy I took off a week twice. This streak started about 5 weeks ago

Yesterday was my day back after a week break and of course I got screwed with Mil-Wisconsin. Today I lost on a soccer bet which was my 18th loss. I will be placing one bet tonight an hopefully the streak ends, if not one more tomorrow and thats it until I get back from Vegas in April

I have a bad feeling I probably have the record here at the mall.

I feel you bro. I am having a nightmare right now. 0-5 from my posted plays and 0-5 in NBA non-posted plays today. This has got to be my worst ever.

cheer up cisco...and others.

winning and losing streaks are like weather changes...no matter how bad the snow storm or the flood that jus attacked ur city is, the sunlight alwasy comes out and dries up all the mess and the city is lively again, and jus when the city is lively again enough, the storm clouds sweep in and a powerline gets struck down by a massive bolt of electricity.


keep ur head up....dont gamble above it...EVER

Id have to say 8-10 , sometimes it feels like you cant hit a game if your life depended on it, but it works the other way too, so GL!

I Rank My Handicapping As Football First Then Bases Second And Baskets To Fill In Between....i Once Had A 12 Consecutive Losing Days In Bases... Which To Me Is Eons As I Take Pride In Baseball...it Was One Of The Most Soul Searching Days As My Reputation Was Hurt, My Self Esteem Shot, And My Gambling Egde Shattered......when Losing Streaks Like That Come About I Think Back To A Funny Old Wise Man Who Taught Me A Few Things That I Or You Have Used To Break Out Of It:

1) Call It Quits ( Which Obviously I Will Never Do )
2) Write Down Your Early Intuition Looks And Pick Every Opposite (this Rights The Ship Pretty Quick But In Process It Takes A Few Weeks In Getting Back Towards Normal Functioning Handicapping.)
3) Have The Wife/girlfriend Or Dog Make Your Picks ( Easier To Blame Someone Else Than Yourself)
4) Answer Or Call That 100% Tout That Constantly Wants You
5) Or Tally Up The Cappers Mall Handicappers And Roll With That For A Few Day ( Proceed With Caution With This Step... Lol )

The Bottom Line Is If You Cant Laugh About It Or Have Fun Doing It Anymore You Shouldnt Be Gambling......in All Honesty Though...one Has To Continue With What He Knows Best...if Your A Good Handicapper You Should Know That Their Are Highs And Lows To Every Season And That If You Money Manage Somewhat Correctly During This Time It Will Turn Around Always.... The Biggest Problem We Have Is Within Ourselves Trying To Do Too Much When The Evil Gamblin Gods Are Hovering Over Us Trying Their Damnest To Get You Or Myself Out Of Our Gamezone And Against Everything We Believe In..losing Streaks As Mine Happen For Whatever Reason but To Break Them We Just Have To Keep Things Simple, Handicap As You Normally Do, And Ride It Out With The Integrity As You Did When You Were On That Last Big Run Just Before This Bad Streak Came About.
