Let's say when gambling, you follow a specific pattern. Let us use lottery for example. You bet on the same specific set of numbers. What would be more regrettable? Betting on the same set of numbers for the rest of your life and not winning or... changing up the set you bet on only for your old set to win?
There is an obvious answer to this question. The one most regrettable is when a person changes his number, and right after changing, his previous number becomes the result of the lottery.
Basically, would you rather bet on the same thing again and again then regret not exploring more or explore different kinds of bets then miss out on a win?
I would rather bet on the same thing/set of number again and again, I'll just add whatever comes in my mind. This way I can avoid the thing called regret if the numbers I used to bet come as a winning combination.
Whatever we think is the right strategy, we just follow it, though strategy doesn’t really matter in lottery since it’s all about luck.
I do not think that what is in our mind is always the right strategy, and I agree that strategy does not matter in a lottery since its result is always random unless it is rigged.
