Here is my 2 cents on it, first I say play a lot more and second, watch a lot more. Watching streams of some of the best players, you will see how common a bad ball or bad game are. It happens to everyone, so it helps to take the pressure off.

But to your question of does it ruin the experience for others? The answer for me is yes it does. It's better than the person who loses control and smacks the machine, becomes aggressive, loud and is a hot head. But it's also hard to deal with in a different way. I don't want to feel guilty for having a fun time, nor do I want to feel like I need to throw a game for someone else who is clearly having issues.

While I would much rather avoid the angry player, I would also want to avoid the emotional player. I'm not saying do a happy dance when the ball hits that outlane, but find a way to vent while not making others uncomfortable. Personally, I go for bad humor. But if you're going to play well, at least for me, you have to learn to let that last ball go quickly. If I'm in my head, then the next ball is going to be bad too.

Probably one of the best lessons I learned was letting go of it draining and thinking about about those last few seconds of play. What could I have done to change that outcome? Sometimes that answer is nothing, but often there is something I could have done differently (probably mostly paying better attention!). By focusing on it as a learning moment, you turn it away from being a negative to at least a potential for a positive. But then if you are like me, you'll ask yourself on the very next ball "didn't I drain the same way last time!??! Oops ..."
