I don't think you really got what he was saying. I mean, 7k is a lot of money. Heck it's more than 4 years of minimum salary where I live, I would be super stunned if I bet my house on that and still lost.
I would even be stunned if I'm a casino owner and someone won a 0.00001% chance (and it has happened).
Are you saying no one needs to have emotion gambling? Then you've lost the point of gambling;)
Yeah man. It's a big blow because of all percentage ticks, it fell on that little one that didn't belong to you.
I lost around $2K years ago (not from a bet but a scam) and I was in a state of shock for like 20 minutes. With 7K, I think I'd spiral into depression.
