During your craps-betting life, you’ll likely have more non-winning encounters than successful times. Go along with it. You must figure out how to compete in reality, not in fantasy land. Craps is designed for the participant to lose.
Say, after two hours, the ivories have brought your chips down to $20. You haven’t witnessed a hot roll in a long time. Even though squandering is as much a part of the game as acquiring a win, you cannot end up but feel bad. You wonder why you even bothered coming to sin city in the first place. You were solid for 2 hours, but it didn’t work. You need to succeed so badly that you are deprived of control of your clear thinking. You are down to your very last 20 dollars for the game and you have little fight left. Stop!
You must never capitulate, never accede, never think, "This sucks, I’m going to place the rest on the Hard 4 and, if I lose, then I’ll depart. But if I win, I’ll be back where I began." That’s the stupidest thing you can do at the end of a non-winning day.
If you can’t accept not winning, you have no reason to be placing wagers. If you can’t bear not winning a particular game, then bow out of that session and take your money. Don’t toss your $$$$$ away on a horrible bet praying to hit it large and win your $$$$ back in one great go.
If it is an awful night and you are deprived of a lot quickly, then accept defeat and take your money with the ten dollars, 15 dollars, or twenty dollars that you have left. Take that leftover $20, go have a drink in the cocktail lounge, enjoy the live music. Put it in a 5 cent video poker game and maybe get a 1,000-coin jackpot for $50. Keep it in your pocket, find your other half, and spend some time with her. Don’t relent. Do something besides piss your $$$$$ away on a losing proposition bet. Don’t toss in the towel.
