Well, if I came to a casino to play games and I was left with 1bb I would bet it with the hopes of winning back what I lostnajisami said:
But in a case you presented here, I would have no other choice but to use my last money to go home 🙁
Bet it until its all lost! Or just push to the dealer to appreciate their work. Strangely, it feels awkward going to the cashier & cash out a couple of bucks. Sometimes it feels better to keep the chip as a souvenir. 🙂 I always have some cash to be able to go home. I'm not gambling everything I have LOL.najisami said:
...this topic is interesting, because when we compare it to poker, we can give as an example a hand where we have a draw on the Flop and we call a bet from the opponent that commits more than 70% of our stack... on the Turn we continue in the draw situation and the opponent makes a bet that puts us all in... if we get this far we have to pay because we are already committed to the pot, otherwise, we would have folded on the Flop... that is, knowing when to stop before being on the brink of the abyss, or losing everything, avoids this type of situation!!!

It's a little different on a table game though.
In the poker example, yes you are committed and have great odds to call. And if you do and hit, you win a lot of chips compared to the amount you had to call with.
But if you were playing blackjack and you have one unit left, you can't really say you are committed. There's no pot and you can only double your bet (Unless you hit a Blackjack), if you win that is.
So, bet or leave?
That's an easy question. Life and gambling have taught me that discipline must come first. So, if I decide to go gambling one evening, I will have a certain amount of money set aside for that purpose. And I won't spend more than I can afford. Obviously, in my case, that last bet will be within my limit.najisami said:
I would definitely bet everything. Several times in my life, there have been situations where my last bet with my last money covered all my expenses for the evening and even brought in a profit. I would bet last dollar.najisami said:
Even if you know you have no way to get home? Don't forget that we're talking about being in a live casino, and that last bet does not mean $1, it's one unit, depending on the stakes you were playing ($5, $10 or more).R.Holynskyi said:
