A session cap limits one night. A weekly cap limits the sum of those nights. You need both, and neither improves the odds.
Sports Analytics Basics

Run differential sketches a baseball season better than wins alone. A checked example shows the estimate, and its limits.

Three-card poker ranks a straight above a flush. A plain look at ante, play and dealer qualification, without a system.
Spotting Shady Sites

Sports Analytics Basics
Win streaks: record, luck and small samples
A win streak is a short, selected sample. It mixes skill, schedule and luck, and it does not schedule the next result.
