Stix,

When we have a good run we feel "invincible".......but!.....guess what?......we aren't. We punters are only as good as our last bet and we fall into the bad habits which we thought we had left behind.
I bet every day and usually have the self discipline to stop once I have achieved my target for the day.
However, there are times that I "give it all back" after being in front earlier in the day. This feeling of invincibility is sometimes fueled by Dr Tooheys in premature celebratory euphoria.
Don't forget that some of the most prolific punters that Australia has known have also fallen to having that one bet too many. The inimitable Don Scott who actually retired from the punt and pursued other paths ended up "doing the lot."

Cheers.
