I wonder about this because I remember a few years ago playing a triple jackpot I dreamed of, in the old-school lottery, the one where you only bet on a number of 001:999, something similar to the Daily 3 or Pick 3 in the United States. I don't know if these types of games still exist today, but I clearly remember that the time I bet on that winning number was the first and last time I bet on that lottery. I know it was pure luck. Besides, the odds weren't unreasonable; 1/1000 is something that could happen.
For this same reason, despite having been very lucky that day, I never tried again. There was no stimulating factor that would lead me to try betting on that lottery again. So I assume the winnings don't constitute a large enough percentage of the stimulant to make someone become a gambler overnight.
I think it must be an accumulation of stimulating factors that make certain types of bets seem attractive to us, based on our personal tastes.
What do you think?
Sometimes having a lucky win can be very scary, you know how slim the chances are of winning especially when it's a big odd, for some people winning from such might be a trigger to continue gambling while others might decide to take a break. As for me whenever I win I always slow it down for a while because I know that there's a high chance of losing everything my profit if I'm not careful
