What is meant by a gambler who decides to quit his job after he has won a large amount? If that is the context then it is clearly a really bad move, I understand that maybe the amount of the win exceeds his income for several months, but what is certain is that you should not get to the idea of quitting your main job, because I am sure that in the end as you said my friend that it is unlikely for a gambler who has won a large amount to not play more or more aggressively in order to win a larger amount than the amount they have previously won, and also in the end as you said that they will most likely lose their job and also the amount of winnings they have previously earned, another thing you also have good advice for those gamblers who have won big while maintaining their usual lifestyle.

I agree with you that for a gambler to quit his or her job because they won huge amount through gambling is not a wise decision because as they have won from gamble they might probably gamble again in future and lose all the money if they did not use the money they won to do important things.
If a gambler can quite his job because he won $500,000 from gamble it also means that he can quite his job if he eventually save up to that same $500,000 through his job.

Yes and I think it is indeed very possible to happen, or what I mean is when you succeed in getting a large amount in gambling then of course it is very unlikely for you not to try gambling again, believe that the urge of curiosity and self-confidence is very big when you have previously succeeded in getting a large amount of winnings, I am sure that you will think that "I succeeded before and I will definitely succeed again using the same method as before", I am sure that is what will be in your mind and at the same time will continue to encourage you to try.

On the other hand, this is also the reason why a gambler always finds it difficult to ignore the greed in him, and this is also one of the reasons that someone will only stop when they have run out of money. The analogy you gave in your second paragraph is correct, I agree with that and I am sure one of the biggest reasons why a gambler can really make the decision to quit his job is because of the high hopes and beliefs that gambling can provide everything, and that belief arises due to the effects of the big wins they have made before.
