I haven’t wrote a lot lately about my sports gambling enterprise; hmmm… I wonder why. Yeah, it hasn’t been going great… I want to say it all started with the Super Bowl, but that’s not really accurate. It was soon after that… with March Madness, where the slow drip began. March was my first losing month since the previous June. I followed that up with losing months in April, May, and have started down the path in June; things are going swell.
Maybe I bet on too many games in March? I use this app called Juice Reel to track all my bets. Not sure if it’s 100% accurate, but pretty close I think. Per Juice Reel, I placed 180 bets in March. This was my highest number of bets placed in a single month, and it wasn’t particularly close. Yeah, I got engulfed in the Madness, that’s for sure. It was a lot of fun, but not so much for the DK account. Yet, my follow up in April was even worse! I only placed 77 bets that month, as my focus was thrown off due to life events… that seemed to be a common theme across the board. Still don’t think I’m all the way back yet, but we’re getting there. In May, I only placed 57 bets… my lowest total since the previous June, which was my last losing month until this recent streak. Hold on… I thought betting more was not good, and betting less would be better!?!?! In June, I know it’s only the 3rd day… I’ve only placed 5 bets. My record: 0-5. This is part of a current 9 bet losing streak. What’s going on?
Well, the NBA that had been so good to me during the regular season, has flipped in the playoffs; the NHL playoffs are right there with it. The Stars losing to the Oilers took out a couple future bets on Dallas, although I still do have the Western Conference bet out there for the Cup; go Oilers!?! The Thunder previous to that had hurt me in the NBA playoffs; thankfully I didn’t go too big on the Wolves… Now Mavs Celts?!?! I don’t like either of those teams… probably would root for the Mavericks, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I should bet on them. Undecided there. Kind of lean Panthers in the Cup, but already have a bet on the Western Conference, so… I was hot in baseball for a second but that evened up pretty quickly. Haven’t dabbled in the WNBA yet; why would I? Need to start looking at football I think… who knows.
I do know my focus hasn’t been there; my feel either. I haven’t really had time to spend on it; haven’t even been listening to my show either. It’s just kind of faded to the background for now; not sure when it will come back. Still been dabbling, but nothing like before. Seeing my balance slowly shrink hasn’t been too inspiring, but… we keep grinding. That’s what we do.
On the bright side of things, I’m still in the positive over the past year and a half, although not nearly as positive as it was a few months ago. It’s still all good. Where do we go from here? Well, how about breaking my 9 bet losing streak? Haha… onwards and upwards.
