On another website, someone who is very respected in gaming has a signature line that goes something like this:
it doesnt matter if you win or lose, it matters if you had a good bet.
Well, Arc, that sounds a lot like you. And to be honest, I think that kind of thinking can send you to the poor house real fast. The bottom line and the only bottom line is DID YOU WIN. Sorry, but I just had to say it.
So, sticking around and losing at a positive edge game is absolutely absurd if your goal is to play your hours and you shrug off the loss as being "expected." With thinking like that I "expect" you to go broke.
