Have you not ever ask yourself why your neighbour gambler won $2000 some years back and no other similar wins happen?
Like I will continue to say, you won't always be lucky when it comes to gambling. We all know that feeling and excitement that come when we make wins, we may be tempted to go back in with full confidence that we might miss out on the next huge win but then we eventually begin to loss. One thing that we should have in mind as a gambler is that these games aren't designed for us to win. They are meant for use to have fun and their might be a chance along the way for us to meet a win. So then we should just hope more on being lucky .
The question about anyone continuing to gamble irrespective of not having the expected winning at some point is that of which we need to ask ourselves whether we are having fun doing it or not, and at any point your answer seems to be not having fun then the person should give it a break, yeah senerio cases where we or those close to us have won a certain amount of money and after a long time no such winning happens but that mean it can't happen again but at first we all have to prioritize having fun doing it because that is only what will keep us long enough to be may have the opportunity to get or see such winning again. However, when it also comes to being wise with our wins it is also a good advice especially when we have a huge win since we don't know when the next one will come.
