I don't know about any other person but personally, I've come to discover that winnings that are unexpected excites the most than the winnings that are expected, regardless of the amount of money involved.
That's true though, there is an excitement attached to an amount won unexpectedly. I could remember some time ago I played many games hoping to win but couldn't win a single bet I decided to stake multiple games with several prediction and relaxes and said to myself that if it happens to play "so be it" and if it doesn't as well "so be it" too. I was surprised to see 2 tickets won at ago and I was excited. So definitely there is excitement in unexpected win.
But by the way, it is not advisable to put our hope on a predicated running game, because If it happens not to play, such person may feel disappointed. It is better we always stake and remove our mind on it sothat when there is an unexpected win we become exited instead of becoming exited earlier and angry when lost later run.
Well from my experience of gambling, I think there is actually no time I do not expect to win but their is also that awareness that the lose is more higher in probability to occur because with gambling the results is more than expected wins so when the win does come it's so exciting because what that slim chance of the win actually came and sometimes the excited triggers more gambling habits making some gamblers think they can still replicate it and this makes them get into more shit.
