Handling losses like a professional (PLEASE READ!)

It happens to every player.

Losing spin after losing spin.

Getting pennies away from meeting the cash out threshold before losing it all.

2 weeks straight of not hitting anything on any slot or game.

Praying for a win and it doesn't happen.

The emotional rollercoaster is ridiculous. One week you can't help but keep winning, the next it's the opposite.

These mathematical swings are what is known as Variance.

I will not deny that prayers sometimes work.

But when they don't, please remember this and speak it aloud. "I have no control over the short term outcomes of gambling or even advantage play."

Don't click the spin button yet. Take a few deep breaths. 4 seconds in, 4 seconds held, 4 seconds out. Think of it as G's 4 4 4. (I didn't invent it but it's a fun name)

Every possible outcome will occur if you keep playing.

It means not hitting a bonus after 500 spins, or losing 20 hands in a row. That even means hitting 99.99 SC and losing it all back before crossing a $100 minimum. (I've had 99.97)

The only thing you can manage is your emotions. You can't control sudden anger, disappointment, or frustrations appearing. You can't control regret after canceling and losing a redemption.

But you can reject them. You can get up and accept it's not your day. You can walk outside, watch TV, or play a video game instead.

The most important thing to remember is this:

BECAUSE YOU KEEP GETTING DAILY FREEPLAY FROM ME AND THE SITES YOU WILL GET MOST OF YOUR MONEY BACK OVER A LONG ENOUGH PERIOD OF TIME.

You are a rockstar. Don't beat yourself up. We've all done it and felt it. Time will fix it.
