loser's gambit

Loser's gambit is often associated with gambling in casinos, however, it can be applied to competitive online games as well, along with difficult games; whereas a player is on a losing streak, and overall having a bad time, so they feel obligated to play matches/get killed in game until winning.

Not to be confused with regular "try and try again" philosophy, as having a loser's gambit is often after being tilted (aka raging) and losing one's composure.
Example 1:
Player:"Man, I could've sworn i won that last game i played before i went to bed!"
Player's Friend:"Dude, you were having a loser's gambit and played until 3am, that's not healthy or normal..."

Example 2:
Player: "phew, glad i took time to untilt and come back to that boss later, otherwise i would've lost it."
Player's Friend:"yeah, haha, would've been a loser's gambit if you did."
