How do you deal with near misses?
Do you gamble more to try your luck again or do you just quit?
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

Let me hear from you.

Yeah, so basically many games at casinos are designed so that they "feel" like you had a near miss, but in reality, you were really far from winning.

That's by design, because if you were super close, you would want to try again. If you knew how far away you are, you might simply stop trying.

It's a really clever design from casinos. It's all maths in the end, presented in a sexy interface to the gambler. They are really good at their thing.

If you near miss, you want to try again, and I think that happens to many people. They still want to give it a try and will not hesitate to place another bet. Yes, they are curious and difficult to stop themselves from gambling. But if they can take a look around what happened to them, they will not still want to try it, especially if they lost too much money.

The will to try it one more time will be there so it depends on how good we control ourselves from trying. We should be wise deciding so that will not make us regret with our decision.
