I just want to know, How have jackpot stories affected your gambling routine?
Have you ever increased the amount you normally used in betting just because someone you know won big by betting with a greater amount?
We should not because if we do we are prone to losing a lot of money there is no use getting affected because luck in gambling is not just a result of effort it is more of luck and we don't know who and when will luck strike next.
I'm a lotto bettor and I have seen huge jackpots won by construction workers I only feel good to the guys for hitting the jackpot and getting a chance to change their lives for the better, there is no use changing how we gamble as long as our routine is safe.
It foolishness to increase our amount because someone else won with big amount, we need abide by our plan and within our means while gambling, there is no guarantee that you gonna win like him, besides we need gamble in a way that we have opportunity again another time. Our brain only get trigger with rewards and as such we tend to wanna have same results as others which in gambling is the beginning of such gamblers doom.
Personally nobody winning or jackpot have shifted my motive in gambling. Catch the positive vibe and don't allow it push you to seek same results.
