You seem to be trying to prove that 1,750 is more than 400, and yes, I certainly agree with you. Numbers are a strong spot for me, so hopefully we can agree on that.

Your analogy to wagering only halfway works though.

Of course losing $1,750 is worse than $400. But if your budget for each day was $125 and you went ape$hit out of control then yes, it makes no sense to be only upset about having gone MORE out of control. You're either for going overboard or against it (your type is good with those 'for or against' only dichotomies, right?). You don't get to be okay with going totally overboard and being irresponsible but then be completely against going MORE overboard than that. They're either both wrong or they're both not, and you expose yourself as a hack when only one makes you mad based on the degree and who is doing it.
