No.
I just used Saturday night as an example as to why it was necessary to play those win bets. I had an awful night Friday (not sure I cashed a ticket), and without those win bets on Saturday, it would have been 2 nights in a row. My confidence wouldnt be as shot as my bankroll.
Pretty much I take tough beats, dq's and bad trips in stride these days, knowing that the law of averages would work out in my favor. As matter of fact, bad trips, if subtle enough, can reap even bigger rewards the next time.
The only losing year Ive had in the last 17, was the year when I became extremely over confident and bet high volumes carelessly with a rebate. Those days are long behind me.
