Stage 1 - Denial and Isolation - Deny that it really happened. Don't tell your significant other or anyone you just blew and insane amount of money on a game.
Stage 2 - Anger - This could involve many things such as loud cursing, broken items, yelling at the kids for nothing, not pleasant to be around at all.
Stage 3 - Bargaining - Saying to yourself "If only i had looked at this play" or "only if i saw this stat"
Stage 4 - Depression - Sadness, Regret, Thinking it may be better to just quit gambling
Stage 5 - Acceptance -Still not happy, but no more insane thoughts of quitting gambling.
Stage 6 - Study a play into the ground and Chase like a mofo

nothing changes
I bitch and moan, but never ever chase
the only time I step up my plays is when I'm on a roll. If I'm going bad, I bet smaller
I had a nice day today but feel like shit because I had the Broncos ML, time for an attitude adjusting shot or two

if im down a couple of units on the week i adjust the unit-size according to the new BR. its pretty hard to cut down if you wagered 250/game, to say 150, because it takes much more wagers to win the initial amount that you lost, but its part of the game i guess. but sometimes i do play some 2h's on games i usually dont play, or a late game that wasnt on my radar i put a small bet on it. sometimes i dont even watch the games i wagered on, so i check the final score and thats that, without that fucked up feeling of a blown lead or something else. trying to bet with 0 emotion, because thats the main reason people starting chasing and fucking their account up. learned that shit the hard way.
there were times that i could bet 25% of the account on a game, lose it, chase with the rest of it blowing the whole BR in a night and feeling exactly what Bourn described. now i dont have the urge for that type of rush, so those kind of bets are in the past.
