Gamblers feel this reflexive thought over time. We all know the cons and pros of wagering high amounts, but it won't stop trusting our prediction unconditionally. Players could develop rational reasoning from the brain and individual experience. It's not enough to work with feelings alone. Combining feelings and experience will enable an easy understanding of how gambling works under probability.
Having the probability aspect in mind removes the surprise, mistakes, and frustration of losing. Accepting what we feel can push a player to wager a huge amount, and will end in a high rate of losses. Your advice of reducing the amount we wager is valid for all types of gamblers especially those who can't balance their thoughts and experiences.
