Going all in when down has worked out for me too. My approach is similar, Id rather risk it all at once than lose bit by bit. But it's funny, sometimes it feels like the game knows, giving me wins just when I'm about to quit, only to lose it all again later. It's like getting a second chance when you're ready to give up. Sometimes, I even wonder if the games are teasing me, letting me win to keep me playing.
It's a rollercoaster, but those all-in moments can really be thrilling!
Do not let your mind deceive you, we are so good at finding patterns that we can in fact find them where they do not exist, so as long as the casino in which you are playing has a good reputation and it has been on the industry for a few years already, then it is not likely that you are being cheated and teased on that way, what is happening is that you are the one that is deceiving yourself into thinking like that, and you are doing this because you still have the hope of recovering the money you have lost, and if you were to let go of that hope, you will notice that you no longer have those thoughts anymore.
Maybe the typical gambler is more on the fast increase and hang it on one spin, it is a very action that I use too because like what you said it will bind the mind and will only cause problems in the future when our money is gone but our gambling desire still wants to continue the game, that's what is very dangerous from such actions.
And again if doing all this looks like a person who does not enjoy gambling for fun because he is potentially going to finish his gambling soon, but maybe someone enjoys his bets differently there is a difference that cannot be equated even though it is basically the same.
