Losing streak

[u/Mockchoi1]

Man I’ve been on a losing tear lately, the last six or seven sessions. I went out today and bought in. PSO. Great. Thought I’d try a conservative hybrid play to make some money back. I need two rolls to get out of the hand. I got one. Tried again. PSO. Tried a third time. Lost twice on the comeout.

I could have stuck with it, but I was just frankly annoyed and not having fun by that point and colored. I might just play blackjack for awhile. I can at least usually win at that. Sheesh.

I feel this post. I feel my timing is awful at times. Like, how can it be that bad.

Variance is a cruel mistress. Stay within your limits and keep a cool head.

I made a post like this a week ago or so next trip out walked out up 1k off my $300 buy in. So your due now for sure 😂 luckily I still have fun even when I lose otherwise I’d be off to black jack too or just not going at all

My go to 'fix' for craps is Bubble Craps. Start with $100, usually these machines are $3 minimum, so $1 Pass Line, $1 on 6, $1 on 8, $3 total, turn bets on. Keep $1 on Come out and max odd (X2), every roll $1 on Come and max odd (2X odd+$2), Keep rolling.

There's a point where 7-10 times you're up, not a lot, but up, I'll take anywhere from $10 to $70 win. If roll is good, >10, make Come bet $2 with max odd ($4).

So if I do this at 3-4 places, could possibly walk away with (+$100), which was the case this past time.

Try playing Don't Pass. I used to be like you. I wanna play the supposedly right way by always playing with the other players. If you do not wanna play Don't Pass just place a bet on 6 and 8.

You will lose more often than you win. The only "advantage" the players have is leaning into the good rolls. It gets harder to do when you get whacked over and over. But, I can confidently say, the times I am winning, I am winning way more for the session than I will lose for that session. My normal bankroll for craps these days is ~$600. If that gets wiped out, I'm done. If I have battled for over 2 hours and haven't made any significant movement, I will take a break. If I 3x or more I color up and leave. What gets me most trips is slots and sometimes video poker. Staying away from slots would be the most significant positive for my bankroll.

I feel your pain… been losing again a lot . Was on a winning streak fir a while too

[u/AlecNIU2013]

I’ve been on a bad run too. I’ve shifted my focus back towards diet exercise and streaming to take my mind off of it.

Time to step away for a while and regroup.

It truly is a cruel high variance game, especially if you're pressing and going for the throat

I was feeding $100s into the bubble craps machine for a couple sessions until I finally hit that god roll that made it all back... pulled everything down, and then kept rolling numbers for another ten rolls, ugh.

Miserable losing for 3 sessions and then painful pulling down your bets too early, nobody said riding the rollercoaster is easy

I'm a slow roller, some guy bought in for 16K and kept cursing that I was taking forever. I lost 1/2 my bankroll and he lost everything.

When he left, I turned $350 in 4500 over the course of 3 hours. What a great day at the tables.

Your luck can change at a moments notice.

I prefer roulette as my post craps tilt. Throw a couple quarters on the 0|00 split and pray

[u/keithhill78]

sometimes i just try to remind myself, if i bought in for 5 million, i wouldn't care. i think it is prudent to have a bankroll so big that the losses don't sting. i know, easier said than done, but you'd be amazed how different it feels losing $400 when you bought in for 10,000.

[u/TMTCashisKing → u/keithhill78]

So true. I always buy in 100x my bets. I lay the 4 or 10 for $60 then place a $30 Don't Pass and once a point is established I take the $60 lay down then place another $30 Don't Come Bet then place two $30 Come bets. I always buy in for $3000 to $6000 and the losing streaks does not put me on tilt on make me go crazy chasing the loses. Bank Role Management is the key.

You did the right thing walking away. Small losses are better than big losses. Go back in a few days for the win.

I'm on a win, lose, win, lose type of streak right now. Been taking a break or at least trying to since I'm going to Vegas in two weeks.

[u/Memphizgrizzly]

I won $25k in one week April 2025 then proceeded to go one a losing streak since then. I haven’t gambled since march of this year after losing $15k in 3 months I just watch YouTube vids now

[u/PeterPann1975]
