My favourite one is on RPGs.
"You shoot
"You miss"
^ Nearly every fucking time, this is one of the reasons I hate turn based RPGs.
Now I know we're dealing with money in your case but it's the same sort of thing, with money in particular you should never really on a percentage of success to generate you an income but consistency instead. Gambling is no way to make money and should be done for fun no matter what people say.
It was for fun, and if I would of lost the 0.011 early on than whatever.
But after 5 days I started to feel foolishly proud of its success, started looking at the possibility of running multiple of the auto-bet bots under the same configuration.
Anyways, what I am trying to say is that I originally had no faith in this experiment. But after nearly a week I started to build a sentimental attachment to the experiment, something that I extensively try to avoid.
So now that it went from a on fire success, to absolute failure in 5 seconds, This thing that was suppose to mean nothing has now ruined my emotional state for the rest of the day.
Gah...just got to walk away.
