Really bad start to the NFL season

[Salva135]

So, I'm still a total noob in the sportsbook game, but have decided to devote a lot of time to reading this forum, watching the lines, doing background reading elsewhere, and starting with a micro bankroll (a few hundred bucks) and very small wagers, to see how I might do and if I can make this profitable.

Unfortunately, despite putting in some effort, I'm 4-16 on a variety of moneyline, spread, and o/u wagers through the first 2 weeks. My question is: how discouraged should I be about this bad start? Assuming a lot of these are close to 50-50 props, should I just accept this as bad starting negative variance and work harder at it, or reevaluate my ability here?

I realize it's early in the season, but still, these horrible results are incredibly discouraging...
