As
Thaskalos is going to expand on this later, let me toss in my two cents worth.
First of all,
nearly all players will go on losing streaks, sooner of later. In fact I'm on one now.
Step1. Is accepting the reality that losing streaks happen.
Step2. For me,
a losing streak is a message to either play less, bet less,
or even take a total break from the game for a couple of weeks or more.
Secondly, a review of
"Why?" you are playing the races, and
"Who?" you are playing the races with, and possibly
"Where?" you are playing the races, and
"What?" races you are playing never hurts. Knowing the answers to those questions can put your play in perspective to other elements in life as well.
