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'm not betting on lottery of any games that's the same as lottery, but I will give my opinion based on what I've seen with other gamblers out there.
I've seen many people here in our place that's been betting on the lottery, and based on my observation, they always have a set or group of numbers where they will just bet on those numbers no matter what happens. There are some though who tried to change the set of numbers they're betting only for them to regret that decision because those numbers who they're been betting for a long time happened to be the lucky numbers, and they could've won if they stick with those numbers. I see some of their faces the regret because of what happened. I guess sticking with the same set of numbers is better for some, but for me, changing the numbers of overtime seems better. At least I will not feel any regret.
At the end of the day, you will never know when those "set of numbers" will win, or worse, they might not even win even in your whole lifetime.
