I can come and go in patterns. Hot, then nothing is working. I try and stick to the same wagering principals or rules. My rules others may think differently. What I don't want to do is start zigging when I should be zagging.

So over the last 3 weeks, and this is a time of the year where Im not playing a lot, so it may be a streak of say 0-6 or 0-8. However that wagering is about to pick up. Or maybe not.

After finishing "red hot" Pacific Classic Day while out at Delmar I wake up have breakfast finish coffee and walla Saratoga is first post. Its 8:30AM. I played small on one race and the Jockey Club which had a 10:30AM post I thought Mindframe might be tough. And he wasn't favored. Obliterated at the start, losing wager. I promptly left and went Canyon Hiking. Next weekend Kentucky Downs is running and I said this place is nuts. Made two small plays and whatever could go wrong did. Last weekend Good Cheer goes from 5/2 morning line to 6/5 first blink. Now what? The same day I played Miami Hurricanes minus 1.5 in a Teaser with Green Bay also minus 1.5. GB is up 10-0 with 10 minutes to go and figures out how to lose in regulation with every possible gaffe known to sports betting.

I don't play a lot of Pick 5's or go ALL in races where one of them wins but the other 9 are losers. You can have tickets where you win but lose $$. Losing streaks can last longer chasing HUGE scores. That's just me. I like to protect my Capital for when I see something I REALLY like.

I tend to play more in spots. There is no such thing as I AM DUE SO FIRE. I will still wager but more slowly trying to rinse the bad streak or bad luck out. I am curious how others handle this.
