i replaced a clutch master cylinder recently because it was leaking the leaking is gone now but i had pressure on the clutch pedal but slowly it started to stick. so i bled it and it only got worse. i tried many ways and even the techs at my work couldnt figure it out so im guessing it has a big air bubble in the lines but i tried everything to get them out and no matter how many times i bleed it it wont get any better and ive gone through 2 master clutch cylinders and i need help thanks guys

Sounds like you have air bubbles in the clutch dampener, which even professional shops can have trouble with. You could bypass it, the line will actually bend and reach to connect - completely bypassing it.

What do you mean by "started to stick" like the pedal would stick in or the clutch would not release?

sounds like the slave cylinder is leaking. have some press the clutch over and over while you look and see if it is...if its not...re-bleed everything. imo.
