Doesn't really change anything for me. The fact that I lost that by a really small margin means that I'm good with my bet, it's just that luck isn't on my side on that instance. I usually take my bets until the end despite the outcome because that's what gambling is about for me: having fun. Having something staked on a game has some added excitement to it--you're not just watching a game pass as you also wanted to get some money out of it.

  • Do you gamble more to try your luck again or do you just quit?

I would hit the slots and take my frustrations on there Cheesy Usually it works out for me, usually it doesn't but eh, a degenerate will always want to gamble no matter the odds.

  • What is the emotional implications of having a near miss for you? Mine was a mixed feeling of upset and laughter. I almost cursed Dembele for scoring that goal Grin

That would be frustration above all. It's hard to set it aside especially if you're on your way to winning something then it goes south in just a single moment. It's part of the gambling thrill, and it's something that I learn to chase every now and then.
