Okay so follow up question because I'm genuinely trying to understand this How do you know the difference between "I need to do more research" vs "I'm overthinking this"? Like sometimes I'll be about to place a bet and get a weird feeling about it. Is that my gut telling me something's wrong...

Ok you guys are kinda making sense but you're also sucking all the fun out of this lol 😅 Like yes I get it, watching games probably makes me bet worse. But also... I like watching football? And I like having action on games I'm watching? That's literally the whole reason I started sports betting...

Wait you guys actually have the opposite problem from me?? I barely do any analysis lol. I see a bet I like, maybe check if anyone's injured, and I just place it. Takes me like 2 minutes max 😅 Maybe that's my problem tho? Like should I be spending more time researching? I always assumed more...

Wait Eddie you put TAPE over your phone?? 😅 Ok but real talk I am the WORST at this. Like I'll have my pregame bet and feel good about it, then I'm watching and something happens and I'm like "omg I need to hedge" or "omg I need to double down" and next thing you know I've placed like 4 live...

Okay this thread is honestly exactly what I needed to hear. I'm gonna try the championship celebration thing this weekend and the 24-hour rule for late bets. And I'm definitely moving the betting apps off my home screen. Thanks for not roasting me too hard for this lol. I know I bet like a...

Fade that's a really good point about testing whether my patterns are actually affecting my results or if they're just superstitions. I should track where I bet from and see if there's actually a difference in my win rate. I'm guessing there won't be any difference and I'll prove to myself that...

Okay you guys are kinda scaring me straight here 😅 Tony I really like that championship celebration idea. You're right - I did feel like I wanted to keep that winning feeling going. And Fade... ugh you're probably right about the notifications. I literally got a "boost" alert for the late NBA...

Okay I knew Eddie was going to say my superstitions are irrational lol. And you guys are probably right that I should work on eliminating them because they don't actually affect anything. The team dislike thing is interesting because I never thought about it as costing me money. But you're right...

Okay so this happened to me last night and I'm honestly still kinda mad at myself 😅 I was up like $340 on the day (hit a nice 4-legger on the early games), felt great, was gonna call it a night. Then I'm scrolling through the late games and I'm like "you know what, one more bet won't hurt." Long...

Okay this might sound dumb but I'm curious if anyone else has superstitions around their betting. Like things you do or don't do because you feel like it affects your luck even though you know logically it probably doesn't matter. I've noticed I have a few weird habits that I've developed. Like...

Thanks for the perspectives everyone. It makes me feel better that you all are pretty selective about who you tell and that it's normal to keep it private from most people. I think the reason I was feeling guilty about not telling people is because I've been spending a lot of time on betting...

I've been thinking about this lately because I've gotten more serious about betting and it's becoming a bigger part of my life. But I haven't told most of my friends or my family that I bet on sports regularly. My friends know I occasionally bet on games but they don't know I'm betting every...

Thanks everyone for the advice and for not being too harsh about me being down $150 overall lol. I knew I probably wasn't profitable but seeing it in actual numbers is kind of a wake up call. I'm going to withdraw the $400 today and then commit to the experiment of growing the remaining $950...

Okay so Eddie is saying I should think of the whole $1,350 as my bankroll and adjust my bet sizes accordingly. Tony is saying it's okay to withdraw some as a reward as long as I have a system for it. And Fade is saying I should withdraw some and then see if I can actually grow the remaining...

Okay so the main takeaway I'm getting is that travel matters but not as much as I thought it did, and the market usually already accounts for obvious travel disadvantages. So I should factor it in as like a small piece of my handicapping but not make it a major focus unless it's an extreme...
