What If,... you're currently playing and suddenly you run out of funds and on the next draw you missed the game which you are about to win the Jackpot.
What would you feel and do about it? Will you stop playing because of that miserable scenario?
And if that happens in real life, you won the Jackpot by your lucky numbers and suddenly you misplaced the ticket, that's a BIG LOSS already don't you think?
-Let's see how'd you feel down about missing a BIG THING in just a blink of an eye.
This is the thinking behind the martingale strategy, and it proved to be very dangerous. I'd say that if a person plays until running out of funds and then feels pity that there is not more money to play, it's an addiction, and this person needs professional help. Why did I mention martingale? Well, the thing is that eventually, you are indeed very likely to win using the strategy. After all, if you're playing on classical 50/50 chance dice, there's a very high probability that you'll win within 10 bets or so, right? However, you might run out of money before it happens, and then knowing this you can throw in more and more money, the kind of money you were not planning to spend. Because the great winning seems soooo close! Of course, it's natural to be sad if you know you were one step away from the Jackpot, it can make one feel devastated. So it's good not to know that and not to bring the situation there, where you have almost no money left and you're hoping the next bet will bring jackpot.
