English term or phrase: the edge of your losses.
It’s not easy to consistently win money on the horses and getting good bonuses and rewards may be the difference between making an overall profit and losing money.

Even if you do win consistently, then they’ll help you make even more money.

If you tend to lose, then they will take the edge of your losses.

vous consoler de vos pertes


Explanation:
"... ils vous aideront à vous consoler de vos pertes".

"... ils vous aideront à vous soulager face à l'étendue de vos pertes"

The idea is to make this unpleasant feeling bearable.

Update: I read the wrong line that says "help you" so it would be more like "vous consoleront de vos pertes" but I still think my suggestion makes sense because the pattern "if... then, .." appears twice.
