Over your craps-gambling life, you’ll certainly have more losing sessions than winners. Accept it. You must discover how to bet in the real world, not in dream world. Craps is devised for the player to not win.
Say, after 2 hours, the dice have brought your bankroll down to 20 dollars. You have not seen a smokin’ throw in a long time. Even though squandering is as much a part of craps as winning, you can’t help but feel cursed. You wonder why you even thought about heading to Vegas in the first place. You were patient for two hours, but it didn’t work. You are looking to succeed so much that you lose control of your common sense. You’re down to your final $20 for the night and you have little fight left. Call it a day!
You can never capitulate, never surrender, never think, "This blows, I’m going to put the remainder on the Hard 4 and, if I am defeated, then I will head out. On the other hand if I succeed, I will be back where I started." That is the stupidest thing you can do at the end of a losing day.
If you cannot acknowledge losing, you have no reason to be placing bets. If you can not accept losing a distinct game, then bow out of that game and call it a night. Do not piss your $$$$ away on a horrible bet hoping to make it huge and win your money back in one great go.
If it’s an awful game and you lose a lot swiftly, then accept defeat and take your money with the 10 dollars, 15 dollars, or twenty dollars that you have left. Use that leftover $20, go have a drink in the lounge, listen to the live music. Put it in a five cent video poker game and maybe get a one thousand-coin win for $50. Put it in your pocket, find your girl, and spend some time with her. Don’t relent. Do something besides pee your money away on a non-winning proposition wager. Do not toss in the towel.
