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?

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 consider both options regrettable and would not wish for either. Smiley Because in both cases the prize will be "0". Whatever, "0" is always equal to "0" and there can be no choice here. The result is the same.

I certainly would not prefer to bet on one number in the lottery for the rest of my life, because it would be extremely boring. And the chances of winning, I suppose, are very low.

It seems to me (an opinion based on a hunch, but not on mathematical calculations), there could be more chances if the numbers were changed every time. Or, it would affect the feeling of the possibility of winning.
