    Do you have a tendency to raise up "press a little" your standard unit bets when you are behind as a quicker way to hopefully turn a losing session around? On the same note do you lower that same standard unit bets when winning in hopes to preserve that win? If either is the case it could be an unnecessary emotional reaction getting in the way of playing a solid game.

    my mind set was always the latter, lower that same stand unit bets when wining in hopes to preserve that win, because I was afraid of even bigger loss. How to overcome this problem?

    Being consistent, and having trust in yourself by eliminating any weak spots in your game. Keep a low ROR and put in the hours and trust the math.

    I would like to add don't play shitty games, goes to discipline.

    I trust the math behind card counting but know little about ROR. I play for win, not for ruin for sure, so why bother to learn it. All of my past losses were when true counts were high and my bets were high too. A lot of times I just felt casinos cheated but you just did not have the evidence. it’s very hard to find good games now. Another problems for me is that I played poker and other casino games too. That was part of the losing.

    I will tell you why: It is very apparent that you have just been gambling with a Hail Mary approach. With an accompanying attitude that says I will do what I please, that is a recipe for disaster.

    And sooner or later, say a max of 8 years, they disappear and you never hear of them or from them, ever.

    You guys are good at English. But in the world of risk and reward, there is a priority issue. ROR is just the least important.
