Reacting to a near miss by quickly wanting to gamble shows a lack of self control and an individual still susceptible to making decisions due to emotions will make a lot of errors.
Well, depends - if I arrange a nice parlay for the weekend and I got the "near miss" experience on the first even on the ticket, I'm rebetting the ticket. Lol
It has nothing to do with self control, it about you having faith in the other remaining games on your ticket. Most times the first event on our tickets are usually the bad game..
