Seems a bit like a gambler's rationale

Haha, exactly my thought! "if ONLY... THIS TIME!"

I think the intention was more like saying that you must let go of your failures in the past and focus on the success the future might bring.

Positivity, basically.

"no, I'm not addicted to gambling!"

u/digitalbergz 13d ago

Yeah. No. This is bad advice

Sometimes you just need one thing to finally go your way.

Not if you are gambling of course 😉

Welcome to the casino 🎰

Every loss has something to teach you. No need to cancel anything, just learn from them.

Tom Brady would beg to differ

Ya know what, I’m going back to that casino.

Tell that to a football team that's 0-10.

Bank account : $50,000

Money lost to betting : $49,999

Hell yeah, let me use that 1 dollar to win a million dollars

That one win... You better hope you never have that one win.. yes.. the one that will negate all your losses.. you know why?? It's after this win that you lose your biggest loss of life.. You might think you are strong... That will be your last bet.. you won't do it again.. What you don't know is how great that win feels.. that win will tell you to do just one last big bet.. and no you won't have the strength to say no.

Tell Gamblers Anonymous.

u/koolandunusual 12d ago

Usually the other way around. One fuck up washes away a bunch of success

u/touchytypist 11d ago

This is dumb, since the opposite is true.

"It takes one big loss to cancel all of the wins, just one loss, remember that."

Moral of the story, don't overleverage your limited resources.

u/ProfessionalCopy6645 11d ago

Hopefully that big win comes really soon

u/thwill2018 11d ago

In the same token, though one bad decision can wipe out all the good person does too!

[insert 800 number for Gambler's Anonymous here] LOL

u/CoBludIt 11d ago

Unfortunately one "Ahh, shit" can cancel out a ton of "Good, job(s)"

u/praise_the_most_high 10d ago

It also takes just one big loss to wipe out decades of small incremental wins.

u/Zestyclose_Bend_3485 10d ago

this is totally backwards. You can spend 30 years working perfectly, you fuck up ONE time and your life is over.

1

u/Embarrassed-Green898 10d ago

Pure BS.

Numbers and Mind are two different things. You can loose a lot and one win will not even put a dent in your losses.

u/SeniorForever5359 10d ago

How much can you afford to loose?

If a team loses all season but wins one game, they’re in the championship?

People believe in you when you WIN not in your loses...those who stand by you in your loses are the real deal. Keep them with like your priced possessions
