I was the poster boy of what not to do when you bet. burns and Santos absolutely killed me, so i doubled up on trinaldo, made some back, doubled up again on roy and made back some more, then let it all ride on cyborg in the first to get back to the positive for the event. when cyborg was just content to let the fight stay in the clinch instead of making space and destroying her and the fight went to the second i lost my entire online bankroll. Lost $800 just like that.
Its something that i am working on, and had been doing so much better at not looking at losses as having to win money at every event but fell off the wagon last night. It sucks but something that most if not all of us have gone through. I am just going to put in a few hundred and start off betting small again, try to learn from my mistake, and learn how to take a loss and not to over extend myself even if it seems too good to be true. Because nothing is a sure thing. I hope this helps someone in the future think twice about hitting the confirm bet button when they take a bad loss. because more times then not, when you double or triple up trying to make up what you just loss, you end up going deeper and deeper in the hole.
