Betting then experienced losing in a row is part of it, I mean, losing streak is not new to this industry, you need to do better with your research instead of randomly pick sports that you are not familiar, something that really needed to correct, how will you win if you don't know who's your betting with? with knowledge and with proper information or idea, the chance of winning is much better and adding to that if you have some luck the opportunity to win will be more possible, just take it when you already have some decent amount, I mean quit while you have something decent in your wallet.
Even with doing a proper research, you can still have 10 losses in a times, but it also depends what kind of bets it are (single bets, parlay bets, ...). I don't bet that often anymore on sports, but I try to look for value bets. Sometimes you have good streaks that everything is going your way and other times not. Just keep track of everything that you bet and only at the end of the year, you should look at your return on investment.
Haha,
First, I think end of the year is rather too long a time for a gambler to just keep betting without ever doing an assessment of his or her income/profit and losses..
For me, having a monthly assessment, which can be done at the end of every month, is a better way to keep track of gambling gains and losses, and this should help the gambler plan his or her life better financially..
Secondly, I agree with you, research does not necessarily connote assurance of a win, if it was sure, alot of gamblers like myself who never fall shot of researching would have been Billionaire gamblers by now, with a good research, one can still loose his or her bet over and over again, simply because, most games are not easily predicted or predictable.
