Making Sure Bad Bets Don’t Affect Your Betting Life by Ashleyokeneye(f): 2:34pm On Oct 12, 2022
Anyone who bets on sports with any degree of regularity will experience a bad run from time to time. Even the most skilled bettors in the world encounter periods when nothing turns out as expected, and it feels like picking a winner is simply impossible. What sets the best bettors apart from the rest is they know how to deal with it. Sports betting is already hard as it is. It becomes infinitely harder when you let certain things cloud your decision-making and judgment. Stop doing the same things you do that make you lose bets. Here are a few tips you can follow to help you take over your betting life.

Accept the fact that losing streaks will happen
The first step in preparing for losing streaks is accepting that they will happen to you. If you think they won't, then you are going to be in for a shock at some point. You stand a much better chance of dealing with bad runs well if they don't come as a surprise, so please don't kid yourself that you can avoid them.

Keep accurate and detailed betting records
If you are remotely serious about your sports betting, then keeping accurate records is absolutely vital. It will help you with many aspects of your betting and is especially useful when it comes to dealing with losing streaks.
One of the first things you should do when you encounter a bad streak is to carry out some analysis of your previous bets. This analysis can really help you identify what the problem is, or if there even is a problem, and it's obviously impossible to do if you don't keep decent records.

Figure out where your problem is coming from
Getting to the bottom of why you are losing is probably the hardest part of dealing with bad runs. If you've recently changed your selection criteria and suddenly start losing most of your wagers, then it should be fairly obvious that your new approach isn't working. But not every problem is going to be that easy to spot.

Stay in control and consider all options
If you are struggling to find the cause of your losing streak, then you need to keep calm and stay in control. Your only chance of turning things around is if you make rational decisions and consider your options.

Never chase losing streaks
One of the big mistakes that bettors make is to chase losing streaks thinking making their stakes higher will give them money to cover their losses. You’ll only encounter more losses. Just be focused and stick to your strategy and not try to get your money back and end up losing more money to the game.
