Besides the normal chasing... I have one that I can't shake.
I view every wager in $100 increments. I cannot play super long shot dogs for less than a $100.
I can't do 5 team parlays even for less than $100. Everything in my mind is min $100
I see +3500, I have to put $100 on it, otherwise if it hits and I put $50 on it, I'm thinking about the other $50 that should have been on it.

i find myself rounding off my account with long-shot parlays....but not for a hundy a pop like a balling degenerate such as Defying! mine are for more like $13.23 or $27.14...
now that i think about this, I also find myself adding to bets at times for no good reason sometimes other than boredom and anticipation of the game...for example, I will add 25% or 50% to a wager sometimes just because I havent found anything else to play that day even if I don't have any new information and/or a better line from when I took my original position....the play is no stronger to me, so no good rationale to press it....need to work on that one!

When I gambled there was never enough of a win. If my account grew to 10K I wanted to get it to 20K and quickly. I could never win enough and any loss I felt like I was chasing even if I was still way up.
Meaning if I built a 5K bankroll to 20K, and loss a 1K wager, I was "down" 1K even thought I might be up 14K overall.

Much better nowadays but the bigger the game the more I put on it. Super Bowl, title game, certain boxing matches, etc.
Again,much better now but opening day as well. Baseball with the early games, opening weekend in football etc. Has a lot to do with the focus sports and gambling gets at these particular times.

College Football Saturdays used to be my downfall.
I would bet 2-3 games in each set of games, 12pm, 330pm, 7pm, 10pm
Also betting while completely hammered will do it.
I remember going monkey tilt one NFL Sunday after losing a few day games and put in a $2k parlay on the sunday night game was so drunk I didn't even see a single play of the game. Can still remember who played it was San Diego @ New England.
