[...]Have you ever increased the amount you normally used in betting just because someone you know won big by betting with a greater amount?
I would be lying if I say it never did but I already came to a point where I can control how much I should bet on a game or a match. Of course I still wish to hit the jackpot every spin but I'm not desperate to increase each bet.
I often hear stories like this in lotteries. They buy more tickets when they know the jackpot was won.
