OP compain is that he wanted to stop the game but couldn't because he has no other option than to continue playing till one of the gamblers will empty his bankroll. Assuming OP, stopped gambling when he wanted, he would have enjoyed his big profits. This is how gambling works, when you are in profit and don't stop playing, the chances of you running at loss will be higher.
You may have missed the part where ops mentioned that he wanted quiting after the first losses when he already hard multiple winnings in his first strikes, but the guys there prevented him, I think I read something like that where that ops mentioned that, and the reason why many comments go against offline gambling, instead to opt into online cryptocurrency gambling to avoid security issues and threats that could force you to over gamble and losing in the end
