Over your craps-wagering experience, you will certainly have more losing encounters than winners. Accept it. You must learn to compete in reality, not in dream world. Craps is developed for the participant to lose.
Suppose, after two hours, the dice have brought your chips down to $20. You haven’t seen a smokin’ toss in forever. Even though squandering is as much a part of the game as winning, you can’t help but feel awful. You wonder why you even bothered coming to las vegas in the first place. You were patient for 2 hours, but it didn’t work. You want to win so much that you lose control of your clear-headedness. You are down to your final twenty dollars for the night and you have little oomph left. Call it a day!
You must never capitulate, never surrender, never think, "This is aweful, I’m going to lay the rest on the Hard 4 and, if I am defeated, then I will depart. However should I succeed, I’ll be back where I started." That’s the stupidest thing you can do at the end of a losing day.
If you can’t acknowledge losing, you have no business making bets. If you cannot bear not winning a distinct session, then bow out of that session and cash out. Don’t toss your $$$$ away on a terrible wager looking to hit it big and win your $$$$ back in one great go.
If it’s a horrible game and you are deprived of a lot swiftly, then acknowledge defeat and take your money with the 10 dollars, 15 dollars, or 20 dollars that you have left. Take that left over $20, have a beer in the bar, enjoy the band. Play it in a 5 cent video poker game and maybe get a one thousand-coin jackpot for $50. Place it in your pocket, find your lady, and spend some time with her. Do not give up. Do something besides pee your $$$$ away on a non-winning proposition bet. Do not toss in the towel.
