I wouldn’t say I feel pressure when seeing other people win big but certainly it makes you think ‘why not me’ and then go on to place more bets.

What I would say to create some balance is, you may hear about a few huge wins. But the people who are losing money, which there are lots of by the way, are less vocal.
you are right, but the fact that we often see is all about winning, because it is very rare for people to show their losing results, because you are a senior in the casino so it looks normal, different from the view of juniors.
It is very unnecessary showing that you lost a bet, nobody would console you or even have anything to say but showing your winning ticket becomes a big flex. There is often this urge to put in more effort and bet too often just to meetup the poster and go about flexing the win, this is something normal for every gambler but we should not allow ourselves to be carried away and chase after winning eagerly.
