It reminds me the concept of maximum losses and minimum winnings/earning from gambling. Usually, when people walk into a casino, they have a very good picture of how much money they are willing to lose before logging out and calling it a day, but nobody thinks about maximum earnings or maximum profits before logging out and withdrawing all that money for ones enjoyment.
People put 1$ at stake and manage to double it rolling dices (a X2 multiplier), that is already a very good situation, but they do not settle for it and continue to gamble hoping to hit a jackpot and change their life with an initial deposit of 1$.
That is a bad and dangerous mindset to keep, one which will likely lead such a gambler to bankruptcy in a relatively short period of time.
My personal ceiling these days is around x1.30, if I get that out of my gambling budget, then I withdraw it all and call it a day.
Well what happens is that many times greed gets into people as if it were the last thing they have to do, it's as if the world was going to end, if they don't win the maximum they are not in tune, in fact that happened to me a lot with dice when I was a newbie, and the losses they had were considerable, of course I had no concept on how to bet, advice on how to do it, I only thought about multiplying the balance, most of the players go through those stages, and when we understand a little more, the control is based on the money that we must lose, the maximum winnings are difficult because if it is met you do not stop, and sometimes you can be very close to that value and by looking for it you can lose everything, that has happened to me too.
I believe it has happened to pretty much everyone.
And obviously, it is something (as a phenomenon) which is very beneficial for casinos, because greed always plays on the house's side. Only those who are able to have self-control can have a profitable experience in the short term within casinos, long term is a completely different story, though.
Also, it is kind of interesting how an considerable amount of people I have encountered on the internet have hadr their first gambling experiences with dices and it is the game on which they first lost considerable percentage of their money.
I assume it is because dices are a fast-paced and easy to understand casino game, in which one has some control on risk, it is kind of different in that aspect if you look at other casino games like crash or slots.
