I have a friend who wins 15,000 pesos or $300 the first time keno games in an offline betting outlet, he is so happy and very ecstatic about his winnings, I congratulate him and ask him how long before he hit the jackpot, he told me that it took him 7 months and he is betting daily at 100 pesos or $3 so his losses are bigger than winnings.
But surprisingly he did not calculate his losses all he cares about is he finally wins, how about you do you remember your losses when you win a big amount and do you calculate your losses and ask if the winning is worth it?
If I win big , I guess I would remember my losses as the past losses only got me to where I am. They made me strategize my game, Play safe, minimize losses and always set a budget.
We can say that, but I guess that is not many gamblers who will remember their losses in the past because they will be too happy to celebrate their winning. I already have seen that happen to my friend before he wins. After he wins the game, I tried to remind him about his losses, but he said he doesn't remember how much his losses in the past because now he can win much money.
But no matter if we win or lose, it is better to remember how much money we spent on gambling games so we can know when is the time to stop playing the games. By doing that, we can prevent ourselves from the addicting that could happen to us in the future.
