bonus hit right after i dropped bet and now im tilted again

This always happens to me - grinding a slot at like 2 bucks, balance starts dipping, so I get cold feet and drop it to the min. Next spin, bonus round, naturally. I swear slots can sense fear. Watching it roll in at tiny stakes just makes me want to chew my water bottle caps. The worst part is seeing all the potential multipliers flash by, knowing they would've actually moved the needle a bit if I hadn't chickened out.

Anyone actually have a system for deciding when to drop their bet or just trust vibes? I know it's all random, but it feels like there's a cosmic joke going on. How do you guys handle the regret when that bonus hits on your smallest bet?
