Re: Do winnings encourage you to gamble often, or are they just another stimulant?

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

This is true, started to bet small at first and making win, feeling lucky your bets will go higher and still wining and that is fun and good  as you can gain from it.
as you are on the top betting  bigger thatn usual you will experience defeat. you will  bet more as you think yo will hit bigger and get what you lose.
But you will just  start to bet bigger and  lose more. Its a trap!
