So there are days when I look back at a slate of crazy-unpredictable outcomes and wonder why I wasted so much time doing this, when I could be off spending my time rationally and more productively.
I'm always very retrospective late at night, when I'm looking at a fresh set of lines for the next day and just taking it easy. When tomorrow comes, around noon, I'll be getting that "itch" to bet everything on the board in front of me. To be truly profitable doing this (I bet small, so it's not a big deal either way, but the goal is still to pocket some money), I need to slow down.
