Testing Times

The past week or so has not been kind to me! I have had an atrocious betting week or so. All my different betting strands have posted a loss since my last update. October finished off with me being down -£111.30, but this would have been considerably more, if my new risky laying strategy had not done so well in the last week. However, since then it has gone from bad to worse. The first two days of November are showing a loss of -£1179.62. This has been really hard for me, as all the losses have come very close together, and over a period of just two days! Looking back at my past results, I will be very lucky if I even make half of the current losses back this month. I think it will take me at least 2 months to recover fully from this setback. At this moment, I do feel deflated and am wondering whether I am cut out for this lark, and also how many more losses I can take! One of the reasons for this blog was that I could put my thoughts and progress down on 'paper' sort of thing, and also to make myself more 'professional' and detached in my approach. In days gone by, I would have really panicked by now, and paced up and down the room, chain smoking myself to death, and getting into a slanging match about random things with our lass! However, this time round, I have not done any of this, and I've looked back at my previous bets, results, and I can't see anything different in terms of the way I have gone about my betting. All I can think of is that I have been unfortunate this week, and laws of probability probably came into effect and caught up with me! The only thing for me now is to hold my nerve, and continue as I have done, and hopefully start clawing back the losses I have made. I don't really want to do anything drastic or stupid, and I will be very proud of myself if I do come out on the other side in a few weeks time.
