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.
There is no money that we gamble with that is not put at risk, and as such I literally don't feel too bad if the money I gambled is lost when my prediction doesn't go as planned. Because what seem to be the most painful scenario in gambling is when you might have placed a multiple bet slip of 10 games, and the first 9 played and you were given a very huge cash-out, but due to over confidence you refused to cash-out but waited for the last game to play, but only to be disappointed as the last game cut and you end up losing all your money without receiving a penny. That's the most painful scenario in gambling. Because I have been in such scenario many times, and today I no longer wait for my complete bet slip to play in full if I'm lucky enough to have the first 5 to 7 games play. As most times I always makw double bets, so that if I cash out one, I could leave the other to play full.
