Quite simply, the pressure of losing money creates doubt in the mind of the punter and they make silly mistakes as a result.

I agree with that up to a point but if you are too comfortable with the amount I reckon you can get careless. I prefer to bet an amount which hurts if it loses but which doesn't hurt my bank overall. My weakness over the years has been that I tighten up when the bets get large and end up being so careful that I rarely bet. I have overcome that in recent years since I have had to win but it was a struggle.
