Moeee, for me it was how much money i had ,speaking from personal experience, years ago i was pretty well off and i use to go down the TAB nearly everyday and have $200 and $500 bets a race [before i was betting on sports] use to win some but in the end i lost badly, Now there is only a certain amount for me to punt with and its mainly on sports and [only the carnivals on the horses]ITS NOW REVERSED FOR ME and i have won on the footy seasons [NRL & AFL] for the last 4 years, i dont take short prices as i use to i dont try to get too analitical [not sure of the spelling]of games , if something doesnt feel right i pass,for me its about self control.

cheers.
