Hey guys I don?t post too much, but I am REALLY in need of some advice. I?ve been betting for about eight years and have pocketed some good money over that time, but lost plenty chasing the big one as well. Last year I came up with a money management system that I felt worked well for me and have had great success with it until some bills came up that wiped my entire bankroll away ending my hobby that I love so much. Two months ago I pocketed a nice commission check, so I paid off my car and some other bills and started fresh. I could have put more into my starting bankroll, but I didn?t ever want to have to take anything out in case of emergencies so I started with $500 clams.
So starting with the $500 and betting flat amounts and never more or less than 5% of my total bankroll, I managed to make my way up to Level 8. Everytime I net 4 more wins than I lose I place myself at the next level. A couple more good days and I would be at about $2000 looking past the days of $25 and $30 plays, and ready to shoot up my chart. I was so happy with myself I could hardly contain myself?until last night.
I upped my bet to the appropriate Level 8 size ($80) and proceeded to go 0-6. O and frickin 6 !!!!!! I?m heartbroken. I know you can?t win them all and there are good streaks and bad streaks and you just have to be patient. To get back to where I was will take me some time but I will do it. I just want to ask you guys this question:
Should I start back at a Level 6 size bet or stay with Level 8? My answer would be Level 6 but would like to hear what you guys think. It will just take me twice as long to get back to where I WAS but I guess that?s what MM is all about. Sorry if I asked such a stupid question, just needed to vent after going 0-6!!!!!!!!!!
