Monday I posted a thread about "How you manage being on "tilt".
Thanks for voting and the replies.



Through Tuesday of this week I was on -22.50 unit MLB run since the first of the month.
Yesterday, I said screw it and jumped in with both feet and made what would be my normal plays based on review of the matchups. I ended up with 4 MLB picks and tailed JDS on Cincy for a 5th play. Went 5-0. YES!

So, the question now is.....


When do you know a bad run is over?

What does it take for you to get back into your "normal" betting cycle after a bad run? Time? Units won? Other indicators?

Please comment.

For me tilt is a natural process of taking a loss. I can go 8-1 on the day but if the last game I bet is a loss I am steamed. It's always going to happen for me personally and the cure is to control the pace and the tilt/steaming goes away the next day.
