I'm sure many can relate to this illustration. Almost most of the crypto gamblings, when there is a new depositor on their platform, will first give it a win as a trap for new gamblers.
I also think i'm suited to pattern 3 because that's how it started. You'll experience to win in gambling and got hooked thinking the same result might happen again and so it's the start of your gambling activity. However, i'm not the type who will chase my losses because I can't accept what happened. I still gamble because it's fun and entertaining and that's the reason why I keep playing. Of course it's really nice to win but we know it can't happen often as the house always win.

Thus it's best not to have high hopes so you can control yourself to refrain from depositing to chase back what you have lost.
I think it depends. There are people that once they win, they will never show up again. It's amazing that they also knew that it was only a kind of lure that once they came back, their previous won are going to be confiscated again and then they will be forced to deposit their own money in hopes of winning it back. I think these kind of people are already born to be wise in life. Many call it beginners luck and believes on it than the other way around.

Well, I guess there is nothing we can do much about them. I know you are treating gambling for fun but you said keep on coming back from it? I think addiction can also build up there. It's important that we still limit ourselves.
If we keep going back to the casino, it's obvious the addiction can build from there because, slowly, we think that we want to recover from our losses and end up depositing more in the hope that we will win. But as wise gamblers, we must think that we should not deposit more money to recover the losses but instead, we try to deposit as much money as we can afford and just try to have fun. And I agree that if we can get a win, we must be able to refrain from continuing the game and preferring to stop for a while and avoid gambling for a while is a good way to go.

It's indeed not advisable to chase winnings after winning consecutively the same way with chasing a winning after consecutive losses. Both aren't really a good idea because it could develop addiction on the gambler's side. You can go in the repeated cycle if you will keep on doing that and eventually, you'll find a hard time to break the chain to that cycle.

Refrain yourself from going beyond your set limitations so that you won't go over your allocated budget for gambling and you won't be dependent on it. Just set a fixed target of number of bets regardless of wins and losses and stop if you already consumed your tries. Do not be so greedy and hungry for the profit because it isn't really guaranteed.
