Italian translation:ridurre le perdite
Explanation:
Il concetto è quello di moltiplicare le puntate per minimizzare le perdite - come se giocassi 5 cavalli vincenti invece di selezionarne uno solo, o come se puntassi su tutti i numeri della roulette - non vinci, ma almeno ti rifai in parte della perdita.
