it's true. i've been there and know how it feels. I just started back gambling after a 9 month hiatus. I missed it, but I needed the break to make sure I didn't get addicted to gambling.

Bottom line is you have to have a min bet,and a max bet and stick to it.Its hard as it has cost me some money especially during bowl season.But it has also saved me a few times as well.The biggest thing people dont realize is you start uneven betting ,win the small ones lose the big ones you will never catch up .That is why it is rare to see me lay over 6 units(or to win 4 units) on a game.Even when I am on a roll.Also the juice really compounds with uneven betting.Unless you lose your small bets and win just the big ones,which is hardley ever the case.Why dont you try based on your bankroll as $25.00 to$30.00 unit designation.Play max of 4 units on a game.And try to play more 1 to 2 unit plays .Just an idea hope it helps ,and it does work.

Manage your money, get information where you can trust, watch the line and public trend changing before games playing. Finally you decide which game you bet.
