Over your craps-playing experience, you’ll likely have more non-winning sessions than successful times. Accept it. You have to figure out how to bet in the real world, not in dream land. Craps is devised for the gambler to lose.

Say, after 2 hours, the ivories have eaten away at your bankroll down to $20. You have not witnessed a smokin’ roll in a long time. Even though not winning is as much a part of the game as acquiring a win, you can’t end up but feel awful. You begin to think about why you even bothered heading to las vegas to begin with. You were a rock for 2 hours, but it did not work. You want to succeed so much that you fritter away control of your clear-headedness. You’re down to your last twenty dollars for the day and you have little oomph left. Walk away!

You can never give up, never accede, never consider, "This is aweful, I’m going to lay the rest on the Hard 4 and, if I am defeated, then I will call it quits. On the other hand should I succeed, I’ll be back where I started." That’s the stupidest action you can do at the conclusion of a losing day.

If you cannot acknowledge losing, you have no reason to be gambling. If you can’t accept losing a distinct session, then walk away from that session and cash out. Do not piss your $$$$ away on a terrible wager wishing to hit it large and get your $$$$ back in one wager.

If it is a horrible game and you lose a lot rapidly, then acknowledge defeat and cash out with the ten dollars, 15 dollars, or $20 that you have left. Use that left over $20, go have a beer in the cocktail lounge, listen to the band. Play it in a 5 cent electronic poker game and perhaps get a one thousand-coin win for 50 dollars. Put it in your wallet, find your significant other, and spend some time with them. Don’t relent. Do something besides pee your money away on a non-winning proposition wager. Don’t toss in the towel.
