Winning and losing are merely a bi-product of an assessment of value.

Those whom folks have lovingly coined "squares" , bet to win or lose.

Those commonly referred to as "sharps", play on value with little or no regard for wins and loses, letting the chips fall where they may. That approach combined with stringent money management takes the worry of wins/losses out of the mix.

You never go broke if you make a profit.
