I can only tell you that I only began winning at the races when I started betting horses that I came up with that paid $10 and up. It took me many years of getting past the very thing you are talking about and having the conviction to bet such horses. 2 things led to my change:

1) I got tired of long-term losing on short priced horses.

2) I was no longer afraid to lose a race (which of course you lose many when going for prices) but I wanted to start winning at the races long-term.

I wish you (Shoeless) the best of luck in turning the corner. It is very hard to do but I predict once you are convinced you have a method that produces winning long term results, it will become easier to bet the horses that produce those winnings. Don't let the last couple of days bring you down...use the results to convince yourself that your methods are solid and you will start betting them going forward.

I'm pulling for you.
