IF you have a bad loss how do you tend to recover it?

Depends how big the lose is, I guess.

Don't gamble, grind. Keep your head.

If I have big losses I do a spot of mild tooling to make it back. Nothing too excessive.

compulsive gamblers get over it, the depression, anger and worry all go after a few days, a good compulsive gambler could lose an entire months wage and easily recover from the emotional results within a day or two.

if a professional fruit player gets sucked into a machine that plays up, they'll get what they can back and move on to another unit...

if a fruity player who fancies themselves as a pro but dont really have the bankroll to maintain gets involved, they tend to panic and get stressed, borrow money from everywhere and get in a mess..

depends on the person and the situation, and the emotional involvement...

Yeah exactly, second machine of the day (and the first was 70 for 70) yesterday. Hilo Silver, chipped to fuck (I just found it) and it cost me 185 for 70. I was pretty annoyed by it because my route after it wasn't huge, but I soldiered on and managed to make £357 in the end, so I hit my days target (just).

You've just gotta move on, take the hit and forget about it as soon as you can.

start of the day , huge loss ,,,,,,,,,,, yep just soldier on ,,,,,,,,, till you recover , or part recover at least.

but if you still end up down on the day ,,,,,,,,,,,, do you A" draw a line under it and write it off as a bad day ? ,,,,,,,,,,,, or do you B" go out the next day starting x amount down determined to get it all back ????????????

i personally think A'' is your better option ,,,,,,,,, B" can lead to rash impulsive decisions ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, dont chase.

Having said that I remember myself and mr pickareel did that once in a certain bowling alley in Kent!!

Our guess afterwards was that someone must have got one and then skilled another one up next board!!

This is The £70 version I'm talkin about!!

It wasn't pleasant!! Rather large loss if I remember!!

I lost a hefty amount on a certain machine yesterday, pulled a bit back in the end but still lost £80 each on the day, wrote it off as a bad day and made it back today and some, i'd never lose my head and randomly start pumping the nearest Noel or roulette/S16.
