I will award M100 each to the two best answers.

I made a really terrible bet on this market, betting M5,000 when it was at 70%.

It's really hurting me psychologically that I made such a stupid bet (probably because I am addicted to this website and my profit). I don't think that I want to leave the website, but I am also just very upset right now. I could have probably been promoted to masters if I wasn't so stupid, but now I'm probably getting demoted.

Can someone help me reconcile with my stupid descision?

Not to make excuses, but I bet on that market after learning that Sudoku was not going to resolve in October, so I assumed that nothing was going to happen. I didn't realize that the speaker of the house market was so close to reaching the threshold for something happening. I was not planning on betting on anything related to the speaker of the house because of how random it seemed, but I also was too scared and upset to remove my money early on when the market was still at around 70%.
