That is how the idea of this topic appeared. I watch others gamble, I watch how the bet, I start to think about betting more than usually. Do you have such feeling also? Do you have a feeling that if others make large bets, that you also must bet large, otherwise you would feel like uncomfortable, or feel like a poor among rich, or something of that kind.
Actually, even if you don't end up following others' bet, in the long run you will still risk trying betting higher amounts.
The reason is simple, we want to experience big winnings and to achieve that, we need to raise our bets and risks more.
I don't follow other bets and I'm not being influenced by them even I will saw them winning huge amount out from their high bet. It's just that, as a gambler, my common sense is telling me that to also experienced those huge win, I need to stake more.
