I would counter this question with another to provoke some thought...  Where is the fun in life when you die at the end?  See?  Sometimes it isn't about the outcome, but the experience.  It's about the ride, as they say.  If you don't enjoy gambling when you lose, then you should probably look into investing instead of gambling, because apparently that's what you think you're doing.  Investing is great.  You get payouts and your stocks never disappear.  I'd say if you're in it to make money, try a brokerage instead of a casino.  You might like the outcome better.
