I try as often as possible to remind myself to expect the worst while making plans for the best when gambling, it's not easy, I know, it's even more difficult as a newbie when you're on a consistent loss but Don give up, you can take sometime out to up your game and retry again.
The most important thing as a gambler is to start atleast from somewhere, there are many strategies we can adopt to enjoy gambling being an experience user or a newbie just learning, but we shouldn't be too focused on one direction only while gambling, we must check within and without to see for more opportunities, i newbie can perform well and an experienced gambler struggling to make any difference, what differentiate them both is the abilities they both possess, this is part of what is needed to make a good gambling experience when we started all well on the right ground in gambling.
Adoption of gambling strategy should depends on how we want it to look like. There are some gamblers that that do not need a sophisticated gambling strategy for them to become a profitable gambler. We don't even need to have to follow many of the procedures listed by op. We need to do it in our own way and try as much to get more from the way we gamble and what we intend to get from gambling. It is very important for us to have a flexible gambling style so that we can earn good amount of profits from the way we gamble.
Those that earn more from gambling are people that have tested so many strategies and weigh the best way suitable for them to earn as a gambler.
