In poker and betting, the most dangerous enemy is not the bookie. It is You.
"Tilt" is the term for when emotions take over logic.
The Cycle of Tilt
- The Bad Beat: You lose a bet you "should" have won (e.g., a last-minute goal).
- The Anger: You feel cheated. You want your money back now.
- The Forced Bet: You bet on a random match you know nothing about, just to get "action".
- The Crash: You lose that bet too. Now you are down double.
Signs You Are On Tilt
- You are increasing your stake size to recover losses.
- You are betting on sports you don't understand (e.g., Table Tennis at 3 AM).
- You feel physically hot or angry.
- You are skipping your normal research process.
How to Fix It
There is only one solution: The Circuit Breaker.
If you lose 3 bets in a row, or lose 10% of your bankroll in a day:
STOP.
Turn off your phone. Go outside. Watch a movie.
Do not log in to Boro Jeet for at least 24 hours.
Your money will still be there tomorrow. But if you keep betting on tilt, it won't be.
