A gambler knows that the money he puts in the pot is at risk. . . If he loses $50 he may well say to himself “I’d rather have won, but $50 wasn’t too high a price to pay for a night of gambling, and en route to losing $50 I did after all win some nice pots and get compliments from the guys I was playing with.”
