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.

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'

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
