This is only apply if he losing, but with no limit of bitcoin he will always try to get it back again and again
They always do that, waiting for the right time to get in and those times are like when the wagering contest is up. But as of now, they are calm and just watching out the whole scene.
But they also play for some time but they don't go for the full wave that they can. And once it's up, you'll see them compete to each other and aiming for the top places.
