This reminds me of the days when I would take low risk bets with huge turn-over to gain a higher rank on Primedice back in the 2015-2016 days. For those of you who don't know they had a ranking system based on BTC roll-over and chat logs in the trollbox. The more you bet and the more you trolled on the trollbox you gained a higher rank. The higher ranks had bragging rights and other gems like a big 3000-4000 Sat faucet (keep in mind this was when BTC was $200).
Either way I figured, might as well bet 1 BTC on the lowest risk possible which was like 99% or something. So I did maybe 10 bets and I won all of them, figured I would go down to 0.50 BTC on base bet in case I get hit with a loss, again didn't lose in the next 10 bets. So far 20 bets all winner, lowered to 0.25BTC did the same, then at like 0.10 BTC bet I got a loss. Hence I decided to go back to 1 BTC base bet, figured what are the chances of hitting a loser anytime soon. And guess what, after like 8 rolls or so, bust. Entire 1 BTC gone.
Was pretty upset and was stunned for a while. Keep in mind this was like $200 or so back then.
Ah, the triggering point and downfall of all gamblers.
It's funny that our minds never get satisfied over small wins but a small loss is sufficient to start a chain reaction.

Loss and earnings. It actually marks the times when it is hardest to think rationally. Because people tend to panic while losing and with enthusiasm while winning. Therefore, the safe always wins

I think people with strong psychology are more fortunate about gambling. Panic, rush, hurry, excitement, enthusiasm and emotional situations that can prevent people from thinking healthy can sometimes be dangerous. Apart from these situations, it is a great luxury to have fun while gambling. I think those who can live it are very lucky.
