Curbing impulsiveness is why I don't do online betting (for horse racing). At least not at this point. I can set myself up for discipline by having to travel to an OTB to make bets. And it won't take large bets. I'd rather learn the sport with comparatively small change and play to stay in the game. Learn to pick my races, become less fresh and excitable about it, and then bet higher and online when it makes sense to me.
Sometimes I just paper play from home for fun. It's still entertaining since I genuinely like the sport and not just the the big ROI opportunity.
