Treat it as a business and make sound decisions. For me personally, sticking to only a couple plays a day prevents me from going full tilt and blowing my bankroll in one night because every time, and I mean EVERY time, I bet somewhat big, it's an automatic loss. I will say it is extremely frustrating to always be up or down within a few units of being even for months at a time but the numbers do not matter. It is all relative. Focus on picking winners. Don't tail a million people at once. It never works out. Bet 3% of your total bankroll per play, 4% and 5% on the more confident picks. Trust your gut regardless of what anybody says about a certain play. Lay off if you have to. You can't lose that play if you don't play it. Don't kick yourself for missed opportunities and don't harp on the losses. More games tomorrow and the day after and the day after. I tend to get really pissed off when I'm down 20u and sometimes give in to "lock" plays, which again always lose. Yesterday was the Dodgers...up most of the game, blow countless chances to score and then lose in like 15 innings... Currently feeling the shame of having to redeposit, lol. Sorry for the rambling, hope it helped a little and shit, reading this back, I really need to take my own advice, lol.
