Unfortunately, after a really big monetary loss, it is not so easy to come to your senses, because it does not matter that the strategy did not work or that fortune was not on the gambler's side that day, what matters is that a sum of money was lost. For this money, one could have made any of hundreds of useful purchases and activities, but they were lost. It turns out that it would be best to return the money, but due to the fact that the gambler is in a depressed state, it is better not to go to the casino at all, but to let yourself cool down emotionally. And only then think about how to return the money.
