'Monday Night Football' betting preview sees Giants as live underdog against the Rams with Cam Skattebo rising

As a sports bettor, you know you're going to have losses.

Successful bettors win somewhere around 53 or 54% to be profitable.

There will be great runs when you try to get all the money into the pot that you can, and there will be some stretches where you have a major struggle.

That's when you have to navigate the bankroll a bit and keep the management at the forefront so you don't start chasing to recoup the losses.

I've put out three plays and gotten three losses this week.

I also lost my survivor play as the Buccaneers made the Browns look like a competent team.

I need a win here for "Monday Night Football" as the Giants take on the Rams.
