    For instance if you lose 5 bets in a row, are you reluctant to pull the trigger on a game you like because you don't have confidence because you think everything you bet turns to shit?

      The degree of +EV of the situation should be more of a concern.

        occasionally. most of the time i keep standard unit sizes, but if i like a play more than usual, like if i got a good number or a free hook then i will bet more on it

          I use a standard unit size (a %). This is the first year I am doing it and my roll preservation is much better.

            Just double your bet size after you lose a game. Excellent long-term success.

              Nope, I do not handicap games at all. I look at the screen, maybe read something on scoresline and just bet.

                    I try not to. I'll go 5-1 but lose money cause I Looooooooooved that loser! Through the years Ive found it better to just play the same on everything. If I like a game I dont like it $100 worth or $1000 worth. If you dont like enough to put the house on it, dont play it
