Default Re: Good way to maximize emotional EV

[ QUOTE ]
Sometimes when I'm leaving a casino, if I'm stuck for the day after a long session, I take what I'm stuck and put it on one hand of blackjack.

I figure it's a pretty close to neutral EV bet, and when I'm stuck 2k I sort of feel the same crappy feeling as when I'm stuck 4k. But if I'm even instead of stuck 2k, I'm much much much happier. So I sacrifice a tiny bit of actual EV and gain a ton of emotional EV.

I happen to be 0/4 on these bets and down almost 10k but I'm pretty sure it's a winning strategy.

Discuss.
