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?
It's basically changing-up the set of your numbers that you consistently used then only to discover that your old pattern won.
I have the perfect story to share with everyone regarding this experience. As some may have read, my father is an avid gambler and he consistently bets on lottery. For more than twenty (20) years of his life, he used to bet on a specific sequence of numbers and he never changed or altered any of it. But then there was this one day where he changed his last number from twenty (20) to twenty-two (22) to match the birthdate of his new wife.
Then... lo and behold, my father won the lottery by hitting five (5) numbers- BUT he was about to win the WHOLE jackpot if he had stuck to his old pattern including that number twenty. I remember him shouting and cursing at the same time and till this day he chases that win again.
