Why you should limit bets when it’s not going to plan

At times punting can be a very emotional game, and when thing aren’t going as planned you are vulnerable. Any negative pattern of results can make you uptight and unfocused – this state of mind generally leads to losing more. No one can hope to place objective bets when this mental fog strikes. It’s far better to become detached from such a situation by taking a break.
PRO TIP
Prepare for the unexpected, it will happen. Racing often has a random nature, which sometimes can leave us scratching our heads. If you keep good records of bets made, you should then take a look through those records to see if you can indentify reasons for a losing run, if you can’t, then take a break and return when you more detached from the negative connotations of a losing run.

I seem to do ok when placing small level stake bets,but as soon as i try to increase my stakes,even by a small amount it seems to go wrong. I don’t know if i think differently when there is more at stake. What do you think?
this is a common problem, and probably all about nerves and fear of losing too much. Everyone has a comfort zone once you pass that it can affect your judgement. Increase gradually over a month so maybe 30 pence per day on each bet or inline with your levels. to overcome this issue
