I had earlier made a similar thread as this regarding the effect of  stories of huge wins and and jackpot have had on gambling habit and from what I read in the replies, it's clear that people ar easily influenced by these kinds of stories which to some extent affect thier gambling style and course an increase in the allocation that they would normally assign to gambling since they would in most cases want to win big. Here is the link to the main thread if you want to go through it and possibly learn from the replies.

But let me now talk from a first person point of view.  A friend once sent me a sport betting code and instructed me to play it but I was just reluctant to doing so, fast forward to the end of the day when the game finally played out as he predicted and he won his bet, I was a bit uneasy and felt disappointed that I didn't play the game and the fact that he has won, th next weekend I had to go on to playing a game I would have nit stacked on a normal day. The truth is that you can't really control yourself that much when you're seeing others winning big or when you've read stories of people that are doing what you're doing and have currently hit it big. You will get tempted to try your luck and maybe increase your bet and before you know it, you've gone into irresponsible Gambling.

Apart from getting motivation from stories of some one that I know, is can't really on what I see on the Internet as a motivation to increasing my gambling style or going too aggressive in my gambling. Not on this internet sphare were the more you look at things, the less you see the real truth and anyone can easily design a slip that shows they've won big even when in reality they haven't won anything that's close to that.
