Lastly there’re two important lessons we all can learn from him, 1) quit while you’re ahead and 2) don’t splurge your winning fortune quickly spend it slowly and wisely.
Honestly, these 2 lessons are just simple but difficult to do.
In my case, if I won a life-changing amount, surely I'm still on my mind to put it on useful things such as business, real estate, etc. and began securing my savings. But impossible for me not to allocated some of those winnings in gambling since as always,
"why should I stop if I won". The mindset of lightning can struck 2 times is always in a gambler's mind.
It now depends on how responsible these big winners will continue their gambling activity. I'm amazed at the person in the subject that decided to stop. He just really tested his luck that time but not actually treating gambling as a regular activity to the point that he always gambled. Also, the reason why he able to easily quit gambling before.
There is a mindset that called as "always win", gambler who won big amount of money thinks that they are not vulnerable to losses and that is why they gains are come to waste. Consecutive winning doesn't mean that you are not vulnerable to losses, we should protect our gains and it is by doing risk and management. Our mindset should will also good because it is bad if we always thinking about winning and not losses and that is why we there are some gamblers who regretted their past decisions because they are not prepared face unexpected situations.
