Internet is full of reassuring stories on big gambling wins like ten/hundred -thousand-dollar, or even more, while in most cases the gamblers are losing because they are either not the experts in on gambling they try or have not relevant skills and make foolhardy bets.

I'm sure everyone here involved into gambling has made such reckless bet  at least once in life.

Did such bet/s change  your gambling styles?

Have you become to be more eager in gambling or , on the contrary it has put a chill on you?


Yes, there are a huge number of stories when a person won a jackpot or a large amount of money in a lottery or something similar. It's always interesting to listen to, but there is another side to this coin. For every person who won big, there are thousands (these are approximate figures from the head) of people who were defeated and lost their money. This is called the "survivor effect." That is, we pay attention only to success stories. But you should always remember that losing in gambling is easier than winning.
I have made a reckless bet in my life that resulted in me losing money. But in that case it was my own fault; my carelessness led to this. After that incident, my strategy changed. I don't make reckless bets anymore Smiley
