The first thing I will tell you is that you are breaking the rule of only betting with money you can afford to lose, which I would qualify as betting with money you are comfortable with. Apparently you are playing with money that you either can't afford or that you don't feel comfortable doing so.

If you had lost $0.01 would you be afraid? There's your answer. The thing is that the more comfortable you are with the amount you bet the less exciting the bet is.
