Over your craps-wagering life, you’ll likely have more losing periods than successful times. Go along with it. You must discover how to compete in the real world, not in a fairytale. Craps is designed for the gambler to lose.
Suppose, after two hours, the dice have brought your bankroll down to $20. You have not witnessed a smokin’ hot toss in forever. Even though squandering is as much a part of the game as acquiring a win, you can’t help but feel awful. You wonder why you even thought about heading to las vegas to start with. You were solid for 2 hours, but it did not work. You want to win so much that you lose control of your common sense. You’re down to your last $20 for the game and you have no oomph left. Walk away!
You can never give up, never accede, never consider, "This sucks, I’m going to lay the remainder on the Hard 4 and, if I am defeated, then I will call it quits. However should I win, I’ll be right back where I started." That’s the dumbest action you can do at the close of a non-winning session.
If you can’t acknowledge losing, you have no reason to be placing bets. If you can not bear not winning a given game, then walk away from that session and cash out. Do not throw your money away on a horrible bet looking to make it large and win your $$$$ back in one great go.
If it is a horrible night and you are deprived of a lot swiftly, then acknowledge defeat and take your money with the $10, $15, or twenty dollars that you have remaining. Take that remaining 20 dollars, have a BEvERage in the bar, listen to the band. Put the money in a five cent video poker machine and perhaps hit a 1,000-coin win for fifty dollars. Put it in your pocket, locate your girl, and spend some time with them. Do not give up. Do something besides piss your $$$$ away on a non-winning proposition wager. Don’t throw in the towel.
