There are two types of pain to deal with when gambling and losing.
1. The first one is the money you risk and lose.
2. When the money you almost win is very big.
Now ask yourself which one makes you feel pain even more? On my own part, losing what I risked is very easy for me, it is still money but it is the type that I can afford to lose.
How much damage can $3 do to someone who makes some hundreds of dollars per month? I can only feel the pain if the amount I almost successfully grabbed is very big.
Normally it is a bit more tricky to win large amount with small amount of money, but we move, how about you?
