It's not the same for others and it can't be, because the outcome doesn't depend on the stake size. I mean, accidentally it can happen to me or anyone else, but it's not like a rule: you win with low stakes and you lose with the high ones. It's an illusion which many gamblers encounter, but in reality things like this are not happening in  online gambling. Mediocre screenwriters write those things in movies about casino, and then people think they "see" them. Happens all the time with many other things too.

You are absolutely correct, @Betwrong sir. I was just wondering if anyone does have such an experience—not as if it's like a permanent thing or something—but I find it to be a repeated occurrence for me, but it doesn't happen more frequently though.

BUT, if you want to gamble responsibly, you should avoid high stakes anyway.

Not at all, and it's indeed great advice, but many people to whom I have given such advice have never listened to me for any reason and have lost quite a huge amount in gambling, and almost every time they do gamble, they lose a huge amount. There is this my colleague; he doesn't go less than $20, $50, even $100, and most of the time he doesn't even win anything.

To be honest, I think that it is so easy to advise - how to take it correctly and responsibly and thoughtfully treat gambling, always remain calm and restraint, not let emotions run wild, and as a result, even if you lose, you convince yourself that you did everything right. 
But if you remember your history of your participation in gambling, you will surely remember that once you made bets under the influence of emotion, did not think, did not weigh all the pros / cons.  And as a result, if you lose, then blame yourself for this stupidity. 
And I think that almost any player can remember such cases in gambling, maybe with rare exceptions.  And in general, it is quite simple and of course correct - to advise you to be a cold-blooded player, however, gambling is gambling in order to evoke such emotional reactions in a person and subsequent often irrational decisions.  This is an integral and perhaps, in my opinion, the main property of gambling itself.
