How many times have you gone all in and lost every credit to your name? Are you the conservative cybettor only going in for 1/2 ur credits?

Me.....I'm a cydebtor. Always losing it on the sure bet :confused: (see patriots super bowl game)
 
I go the route of never betting more than 5% of my credits even on "sure bets". Slow and steady.
 
I never go all in, and hardly ever bet big. That's how I got to where I am. 100k is the most I'll wager, and I only do that if I'm really confident. Mostly though, I bet 5k-12.5k. It seems to be working. Never go all in. That's the lesson I have learned from other people on cf.
 
I am a Cyclone Fan. I bet with my heart, not my brain. I have gone all in on the Clones so many times it hurts to think about it. Do you wonder why I only have 734 credits?

There are a lot of people here who bet against the Cyclones saying that if they lose their credits, they are happy. If they win credits, at least they get something out of their team losing.

I can't bet against the cyclones. just doesn't seem right :no:
 
I don't bet on anything. I'm just busy posting, upping my cycredit total the old fashioned way.... I EARNED it!

BTW, not only did I get credits for posting this, I voted in the poll and rated the topic, as well!!!!
 
I've never lost it all but I've had 0 in my account a few times after placing my bets. Yesterday was the lowest I've been since this thing started. I think I was down to 12K but I was able to win almost every bet yesterday, so I was able to build my bankroll a little bit. I just want to make sure I have some credits for the big dance.
 
Over the past few days I've really come to understand how someone can develop a gambling problem. On Wednesday night I had 1,600,000 credits. I was going to bet 500,000 on ISU, thinking that if we beat the spread, that'll push me up over 2,000,000, but even if we lose I'll still have over 1,000,000. Well, when I saw the spread was 10.5, I thought we could easily manage that, so I decided to go big and bet 1,000,000. Well, we all know how well that worked out for me! Anyways, the next day I decided to put 500,000 on the "sure thing" of KSU beating A&M, thinking it would quickly get me back up over 1,000,000. We all know how well that worked out for me too. The point is, I can see how people could get themselves into serious trouble quickly, with real money trying to "get it back" on sure things...see Clark Griswold in Vegas Vacation!

Eddie, I've gambled away more money than you'll ever understand...
 
At first I played it safe. Was working my way up slowly and steadily. Got bored. Finally dropped to zero by losing 7 straight bowl games (still a personal best). Won credits on the Big 12 women's tourney and the WAC tourney. Immediately bet them all on Wisconsin today (yet another sure thing - I'm sorry for all the rest of you that bet on them). At least I've learned that I'm smart enough to know that I'm horrible at this and will never do it with real money.
 
I've lost them all more times than I can count. Usually on ISU, or Drake. But I've won some in the CF pools, and I'm going to play it safe with these. No longer will I go all in on anything.
