Today we're going to tackle an issue that every handicapperencounters at one point in his sports wagering career: Dealingwith losing streaks.
While we too at times are duped into thinking that we are HOTor COLD, the simple fact of the matter is that there is no suchthing. It's no different than rolling the dice at the craps table.Every single roll, or bet on a game in our case, is individualand has nothing to do with the last roll or the next roll.
Now I know that it may be a bit hard to swallow and at timesyour superstitions may get the best of you, and I'll even go asfar as agreeing that it can be very uncanny how streaks work,but all in all, a game is a game is a game. What you did yesterdayhas nothing to do with what your outcome today will be. Besides,how many times have you gotten smoked and the next day you PASSbecause you feel "cold" only to have all the games you WOULD HAVEBET hit that next day? All too often I bet!
While we're on this topic, I'd also like to diffuse anotherthing we hear quite a bit. Let's use NFL Sunday for an examplebecause this is generally when we hear this useless expression:"All the early games went UNDER, so all the later games are likelyto go under too."
One couldn't make a more asinine assessment of that particularsituation. The thought may enter your mind, but when it does,you need to overcome that nasty thought and throw it over yourshoulder.
