In my case, I have a limited budget. For example, if I set $10 as my weekly bankroll, I can't go over that amount. I've been betting on the major European leagues, and now I've been betting on the Brazilian league, but always with the same weekly bankroll. If I lose my entire $10 weekly bankroll early, I stop betting until the following week when I put in another $10. But I usually haven't lost the entire $10 in a week.

Because I manage to win some games, I don't place many bets. I prefer to bet on a few games, only on games with good odds and that I know I have a good chance of winning. I bet just for fun.
