We are human beings. This means that most often, in every situation from our life, our own emotions can be our worst enemy. Betting means winning money. It also means losing money, so you should be mentally prepared for that. No matter what you hear, all bettors lose bets. It’s normal, you can’t be always right. What actually separates winning bettors, from losing bettors, is their ability to keep their emotions in check. Their ability to stay away from extremely bad practices, such as “chasing your losses”. You lost a bet. That’s ok, just go to the next sporting event you want to bet on. If you follow good bankroll management practices, a lost bet shouldn’t affect you that much.
