Strategy Focus: Bankroll Recovery
After a losing session, many players make the mistake of increasing bets. Here's the mathematically correct approach:
- Accept the loss — It's part of the game
- Stick to your 1% rule — Never increase bet size to recover
- Take a break — 24-48 hours minimum
- Review your session log — Identify any mistakes
- Return with fresh mindset — Next session is independent
