All welcome to contribute but lets try and bring more adcanced thinking to the thread rather than the usual rhetoric like discipline.
Take most risks when your bankroll is small.
This is precisely the opposite of what friends will tell you. Logical money management systems may help, but these seldom consider your bankroll’s collision with the real world. You see, you can start with $300 and, if you go broke, you can scrape together another $300 sooner or later. But once you successfully build that $300 into $300,000, you’d be foolish to accept the same risk. Why? Because it takes too long to reestablish a bankroll that large.
If you lose $300 and have a collision with the real world, that’s a detour. If you lose $300,000 and have a collision with the real world, that’s a disaster.
Know what’s scientific and what’s not.
There is not, there will never be, there cannot be gambling success through magic-number systems or silly betting patterns. Remember, there’s no way you can manipulate the amount of your bet to gain an advantage unless you have an advantage on that bet to begin with. Remember, there’s no such thing as a rush visible on the road ahead, only rushes that you can see in the rear-view mirror. Remember, to make the odds more favorable, your gambling decisions must matterlogically, not from a pretend-we-have-a-system notion.
If the book you’re about to read violates any one of those things I just told you to remember, burn it.
