If you were to get out more you might find a public discussion of a staking plan which has turned a losing sequence of over 1000 bets into a profitable sequence. "Cant be done" it has been said on this site dozens of times, yet the evidence is there to see.
The biggest problem with saying
never as Sean Connery found out is that as soon as one is found that does then you have egg all over your face. Of course the naysayers will move the goal posts and claim the evidence staring them in the face is faulty or simply doesnt exist but for every person you can find who doesnt believe I can find a person who has profited from a staking plan.
You discard staking to prices and advocate level stakes. Yet many
serious punters believe that level stakes is in fact a
loss chasing staking plan and that betting to prices is the way to go. Daniel OSullivan is an advocate of betting to prices and I have yet to meet anyone who questions his bona fides.
Your own resident math guru advocates kelly staking. It is possible for kelly staking to turn a finite series of losing bets into a profitable one.

One way for punters to get out of the bet-lose-bet-lose-bet-lose cycle is to do something different.
