The reason why this is dumb is u are making what is a marathon (betting n building profit) into a race/sprint
Pressuring & forcing myself to race to profit have always ended up in me losing winnings
Same mentality when I lose I want to chase n get winnings back
I constantly find myself trying to race to profit have gotten better but discipline is the most important thing when it comes to this
I have learned the hard way
If you have more discipline then I do congrats. I personally tend to give a bunch of money away once every two to 3 months. I made this bet to stop myself from doing that. 1 year was a timeline that just gave me 1 season in every sport. When discussing the bet it just worked out well. I don't think I'm turning a marathon into a sprint. but if thats your opinion so be it.
What I have strugged with is I have a month or two where I make 25-30 units and then some money is good and I naturally want more. Then all the sudden in one day I lose 10-15 units........I was hoping by doing this is would prevent that.
Markus shared his thoughts about how the bet seemed rushed etc. I agree it could have been. I don't agree that it was dumb and turned a marathon into a sprint. In my mind I tried to prevent what is my problem. We all can improve I thought this would help me.
Currently I'm up 1.87 units
