I agree. It sucks losing when you've made mistakes.

But losing when you were on top of your game... that's a whole 'nother animal....

Yea it sucks. I lost 1,000 in 2 sessions, but I have made 500 of it back in my last 2 sessions.

She's a bitch, but sometimes she's passed out in your room nude. Remember what she did to you at the last party and take advantage.

Or, just maybe, on the other hand, over any fixed length of play, 10 rounds, 100 rounds, 100MM rounds, whatever, the liklihood of ending results being within 1SD, 2SD, 3SD, 4SD, etc will always be the same for however many rounds we have played.

How about also for the men of this site, who, possibly, weird as this may seem to you in your universe, conclude that taking advantage of a passed-out woman, be she Lady Luck or not, about the creepiest thing imaginable?

Would you even bother to check for a pulse first? Maybe not because it wouldn't matter anyway?

Sorry, just really creeped me out big time.

If it makes you feel any better, the variance is only negative half the time.
