get even, or get even worse

Casino slang refers to a situation where a player has lost a significant amount of money while playing slots and, instead of simply leaving, decides that the better course of action is to go to the baccarat or blackjack table and wager the exact amount of their loss on a single hand. If the player wins, they "get even"; if they lose, they "get even worse." This concept was developed by the infamous Vegas Matt.

Well, we just lost $12,000 in ten minutes; it is time to play a hand of baccarat and 'get even, or get even worse'
