As the title suggests, I used to think I should pick a few games to analyze and bet on. But with all the free information available online, I think we can place as many bets as we want. By betting on more games while keeping the total daily amount the same, I feel less stressed if I lose one or two bets.
For example, if I risk $100 in total for the day with just 2 bets, going 1-1 would still bother me. But if I spread that $100 over more bets, like $10 per bet, I feel more at ease watching the games. From my experience, this approach has even made me more profitable. What about you? Do you feel the same way, or am I just imagining it?
Splitting the amount you want to use and bet in a day into several betting slips will make you to accumulate more games in order to get a desirable winning amount. But since you observed that such strategy works for you it's fine but to some others, they will prefer to use the $100 to bet on a single ticket and minimize making more accumulation such that the events they will select, and the options will be less risky. Though splitting the amount into different betting slips can increase your chances of winning in the sense that you won't choose same events or same options in each of the slips.
The most important thing in gambling is your ability to stick to the bankroll you set aside for gambling either each day, each week or each month and never try to exceed that amount in case you didn't win.
