I still remember some losses that i really haven't gotten over, not like they were huge amounts but they were rare cases of near suuccess syndrome, i was very close to winning, and the reason why it turned into an unforgetable experience is the fact that i was given some good amount to cash out, but i turned them down and still ended up losing the whole thing, such losses are pretty hard to forget or move on from.

I get you.. I've also had this experience before and it too takes me a while before I can get over it. I came across a thread on this board too detailing how a man lost some good money cause he refused to cah out when given an opportunity to do so. In such cases, I guess I was too optimistic about the possibility of winning all the games thus winning a larger amount than the one initally offered in the cash out option.
I try not to let it get to me but it crosses my mind sometimes as it has left an impression on me. Now, I'm more inclined to take what I can get whenever faced with that scenario again.
