Those little victories which are tiny compared to the accumulated money usually people lose to the casino are part of the gambling experience. You know, it is part of the experience, to forget about losses and to believe one is a fortunate person who finally got something in return for so many hours and money wagered on the casino.
It is the correct way to gamble, if you asked me, one is supposed to forget about losses, otherwise one would be bitter all the time and run after them. That is one of the main reasons I have never adviced people to keep a log of their win/losses on the favorite casinos, because it would become a fruitless race to recover their money, leaving behind the fun factor, which is supposed to be the priority on gambling from the beginning.
