Bad gamblers anonymous

[bigcat00090]

I mainly play plinko and BJ with wagers between $0.50-2 (few $4 balls) and $10-$20/hand on BJ. From the start of every deposit I lose around half my balance, gain back to around 75% of my deposit and then the bottom falls out and lose everything. Every. single. time. there is bad luck which I expect every once in a while but this is insanity for the same outcome to happen everytime for months... am I the only one?

I don't think luck has anything to do with gambling, gambling is a complex mathematical process

maybe you are too greedy and you need to try cashing out sooner? i know you said that you are ALWAYS down, but are you really?  i usually go down too from my starting balance, but in like 3 out of 10 deposits I end up winning a bit at start (lets say from 500 to 750). ever since i started cashing out small wins my stats improved a lot or at least stabilized without all these huge swings. maybe this is something you can try.

these stats look rough and i cant imagine you can be down so bad with mostly 0,5-2$ balls and low double digit bj hands. either you are really that unlucky or you tilt too fast and end up betting a lot more than you say here. tilting was/is another problem for me and i end up betting way more (or all in) when i lost a few hands in a row on bj.

for bj: are you using optimal strategy?

If I'm down to 10%-20% of my deposit, I usually don't care anymore and tilt, but it's honestly becoming laughable at this point with how bad of a streak I'm on. If I play BJ I always play by the book...probably just need to stay away from plinko lol
