QFMT! If you don't play then you can't win it back and are a guaranteed loser. If you play you can either win, or lose, so it's a 50/50 proposition. The math breaks down like this.
Don't play = -$
Play = 1/2-$+1/2+$
1/2-$1+1/2+$ is a larger expected value than -$.
I know it can be hard to think of things in terms of strict mathematical expectations, but thats what separates the winners from the pretenders.
