I hate this minor inconvienience

[knotty timber]

When i game over on a stake its sets me on the lower one only once tho and im sick of it

It doesn't set you on a "lower game"!
What it does:
The "new run" option from the main menu and the "new run" option from the game are two different options. They will always be set on the last deck and stake you've chosen from each respective option.

That's not a bug. 🙂
