Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• After a long run of the same result I feel certain the other way is overdue
• I keep saying I’m certain about this, but the second I imagine actually putting real money on it I get this twist of hesitation
• I’ve built such a vivid, convincing story about why this particular bet will pay off that I’ve completely stopped asking how often things like this actually work out
• I’m about to bet a big plan on the way things have always worked, and a quiet voice is asking whether the ground rules here could just shift out from under me
• After one unusually bad showing I conclude something’s really wrong, and after one great one I’m sure they’ve turned a corner
