The spirit use to come to my mind whenever I want to play a bet and my mind will be telling me to increase the $5 I use to gamble everyday to $10, but I use to ignored such spirit because my daily budget for gambling every day is $5 and the moment the $5 didn't bring good results from the gambling, that is the end of my gambling in that whole day .
This is a very wise strategy, but unfortunately, most users do not succeed in achieving it despite its ease of application. Even if you wanted to double the amount, it would be easy and reasonable since the amount is small. Now suppose you won $300 on your $5 bet, would you raise the bet amount next time?
Every gambler experiences these feelings, whether he is an addict or an amateur, but many psychological factors intervene to determine the extent to which each of them responds to these desires.
Yes that's right, I see a firmness in terms of applying rules to the boundaries and plans that they have made where whatever feelings they feel even if they are tempted by something that looks tempting still they will only bet the amount that they have determined beforehand and that means as you said that this is a wise strategy. And yes we have to come back to the fact that unfortunately most of the gamblers find it difficult or even impossible to apply this kind of strategy or approach to gambling, where more of them go overboard that they don't even have any rules and limits in their approach to gambling which in turn causes a lot of problems in their lives.
From what you asked here where someone managed to get a big win using only small capital then I think the answer is that it is quite difficult for them to keep the amount of $5 the next time, because usually when someone has just experienced the tantalizing and fun situation they usually think too positively and too confident that if they increase the amount of bets in the next session then the amount of victory can be much greater, but on the other hand I will say that this mindset and feelings will usually only exist in the minds of people who come with the intention and purpose of multiplying the money they bring.
