I have very strong math skills, and a very strong acceptance and understanding of variance and beats. That's not the issue.
If you gamble on a losing proposition then you either don't have as much math skills as you think you do...or you're not using them. (sorry if this sounds harsh)
Personally I just analyze the hand where I lost.
Was it my mistake: OK, go home, learn from it.
Did I get outplayed? Ok, go home, learn from it.
Was I a favorite but I got unlucky? It happens. That's what luck means.
(And yes, I busted on a hand where I was 70/30 favorite just last weekend. Would I play the hand differently in the future? No. So no reason to get upset)
In any case I'm already deep in analysis mode when I go by the roulette tables on the way to the parking lot. No chance I'd even notice them.
