Yep.  You seem to be getting to the essence of the issue that anyone is going to face when making decisions that may or may not be mistakes.  We do not necessarily know the outcome with certainty, and sometimes we will suffer from a bad result and other times we might end up having a windfall in terms of having the outcome that we expected but we had not realized at the time that we had made the choice that the outcome was really a low probability event. 

Sometimes we might reinforce our gambling behaviors and continue to get good results, and sometimes it will come to bite us in the butt.  Not everyone learns from mistakes, and there surely is going to be a lot of individual variance in regards to how many times they might need to get burned before learning - and there also might not even be a right answer - because maybe even a life full of mistakes might have a variety of positive outcomes weaved within, and surely there are consequences to actions and some of the available choices are going to be very limited for some folks as compared to others.

We might not even really be able to blame people for their own circumstances sometimes because we might not even know the various options that had been available or even if the loser might describe circumstances, we still might not be able to understand very well - including sometimes not always realizing various mistakes that each of us might make.. and whether we might have made the right choices, even after we had supposedly learned variations of those lessons earlier in life (or maybe just yesterday, I learned a lesson but I ended up repeating my mistake again.. maybe even hoping for a different result this time around?  hahahahaha).


Goldkingcoiner did the same thing.. accidentally bet 80x.. whoops..


I don't tend to like simple explanations or "feelings" that something is going to happen.. blah blah blah.  There's no there there.
