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?
If it's about betting on a lottery, I would bet a number repeatedly until it wins but not all of course. For example, the lottery requires six numbers to enter and I will always put 21 and 9 on my bet.
It's some kind of superstition in our country where if you bet the same number repeatedly, you will eventually won from it and will bring you luck. Old people even say that it's like you're raising it like a child everytime you bet on it.
In the end, it's all about luck especially in the lottery. It doesn't matter if you bet on random numbers or stick to a specific pattern if fortune is not in your favor.
