In bad luck, switching games makes sense. New sport, vibes, maybe a new start? But are we fixing the problem or just distracting ourselves? It feels good in the moment, that rush of the unknown... but that high is temporary. We're not addressing the cause. You said it: too much of anything is bad. Football, basketball, or whatever, this is sports betting 101. Knowing when to retreat is the actual skill that sets pros apart. That advise about resting after a loss? Straight wisdom. Your mental game matters more than your bankroll, guy. Blasting through losses is a formula for disaster
well indeed switching over to the new game is more of distraction, its just to refresh the mind nothing more and its probably just an escape from the lose streak but in my opinion it could helps a little to just calm the mind since with calmer mind it might lead to another future victory but can't deny the fact that like as you said, too much of anything is bad, i mean being too fixated so hard just because we are eager to compensate, thats definitely bad behaviour that might lead to another streak of losing just like you described.
at the end of the day, retreating just for the sake of not losing too much is always the best strategy, things can be sorted out in the future and all can wait.
what better is to make the right strategy before going in again, its true, pros knows when to retreat and thats what sets them apart from the newbies.
but it could also be just the nature of that pros in which they have calmer mind so they know what to do next and not to do some useless things.
