By the way, there's a superstition stating that when you say "Va mi resto" (I'm betting all the money I had to play), you win. No matter how many times this is not true, some gamblers still believe it.

There is also "no voy", which means you step out of the game you know you would lose anyway. Like in poker, when someone raises the bet, but you know your cards aren't good enough, you get off by saying "no voy".
Thank you very much, Angelica.
