During your craps-wagering experience, you will likely have more losing encounters than winners. Accept it. You must understand how to wager in the real world, not in dream world. Craps is developed for the gambler to lose.

Let us say, after two hours, the ivories have brought your chip stack down to $20. You have not seen a smokin’ hot roll in a long time. Even though not winning is as much a part of craps as winning, you cannot help but feel crappy. You wonder why you even thought about heading to Vegas to start with. You were patient for two hours, but it did not work. You want to win so badly that you are deprived of control of your clear-headedness. You are down to your last $20 for the game and you have no fight remaining. Stop!

You must never capitulate, never surrender, never believe, "This blows, I am going to place the rest on the Hard 4 and, if I lose, then I will leave. However if I win, I will be right back where I started." That is the most brainless action you can perform at the end of a non-winning game.

If you can’t acknowledge losing, you have no reason to be making bets. If you cannot bear losing a distinct game, then quit that session and cash out. Do not toss your $$$$ away on a appalling wager wishing to hit it large and get your cash back in one great go.

If it is an awful night and you are deprived of a lot rapidly, then accept defeat and cash out with the ten dollars, fifteen dollars, or $20 that you have left. Take that left over twenty dollars, go have a beer in the cocktail lounge, listen to the band. Put it in a nickel electronic poker machine and perhaps get a 1,000-coin jackpot for 50 dollars. Keep it in your pocket, find your wife, and spend some time with them. Don’t relent. Do something besides piss your cash away on a losing proposition wager. Do not toss in the towel.
