I really am not sure if it's due to lack of confidence or not

Any suggestions?

Hi Jeff

Have you tried writing down on a peace of paper all you wager decisions ?
Maybe make a wager decision form and circle all your win bets.
Always focus on your winning decisions , Another helpful thing for you is write down next to Energy's win contenders, whether you feel it is a positive or negative bet,

If you bet a horse at 5/2 Is this a positive? It probably is , so you should make a full bet,
If you come up with a 9/1 this is a big positive cause even at just a $2 bet you are going to make a 16 dollar profit,
By and large the best thing to do to improve your confidence is to focus on your wins

The best to you.
Blessings
Bill
