True...I went a solid week (not long ago either) without cashing a single bet. None! So I took a break, wondering if I should just seriously get out of horse betting.
But I slowly came back...and wondered why I don't have the confidence to withstand a prolonged slump. I guess taking a break is the best thing to do.
I'm ashamed to say this now--but when I was younger I couldn't buy a winner for a prolonged period. So what did I do??
I DOUBLED MY BETS!!...UNTIL MY BANKROLL RAN OUT.
I wasn't married at that time, so once my cash was gone--that was it. I was done, until I could get some semblance of a betting fund together, since I had no savings.
The only positive of that--I had plenty of time to study Racing Forms, etc. I even tried reading that Ziemba book, but my God, that was like trying to read "War and Peace"
It did find some use as a doorstop.
