very good experience mate, you are a very wise bettor using the money from your winnings to buy something more useful instead of using it to gamble again.
I have to praise you because you are able to know the right time to stop betting and on the one hand you are able to have a strong commitment to limit yourself from betting again because usually this will be very difficult to control but you are able to fight the temptation.
the experience you share can provide an example to other people that gambling responsibly, knowing the right time to stop will give you a sensation of pride when you succeed in resisting any temptation in gambling.
and congratulations on your win, mate.
You think buying bigger hi res TV as a responsible way of spending?
I see spending money items that we use for entertainment to be irresponsible but that's my opinion and your money you have the way of spending it. But ask again, you are going to make your life better if you see big pictures in a TV or if you invest on something that may give you returns later.
he was just telling stories and I'm sure that was more beneficial for him because he felt that having a small television in his house was no longer suitable and bought a bigger television so that when he was relaxing he could enjoy television that was worth watching and that was much better than having to gamble again but does not provide any guarantees.
on the one hand he also gives good advice if you use the winnings for investment etc. so for me the story that OP said is like advice for other people to use their winnings to buy something valuable for each gambler.
