If you read my post carefully I have already mentioned that I do take occasional breaks to maintain a healthy gambling.
As you said, bet size plays a crucial role too. In the beginning I used to play with higher amounts but as I kept losing I realized there's no point.
So I started betting with smaller amounts and that helped me in cutting my losses.
That is good practice because after taking a break from regular gambling we limit ourselves to some point and when we come back it's a fresh start without even stressing about the previous bets.I also do the same and usually bets with small amount only on gambling but sometimes if there's some good play then bet size could go little high not too much in that case also.
