A reservoir of unpredictable games.

Why do people see themselves as a reservoir of unpredictable games whenever they bag a huge win in the midst of others?

As a gambler, it is so important to understand that luck plays a huge part in you winning, but some people believe they have found the winning pattern/strategy, just because they were lucky to win a game. If it was possible for one to get a winning pattern, they'd definitely run the bookmakers to the ground; so first thing is to be humble enough to accept that you have to be lucky to win and not that you can "magically" pick correct games.

You made a key point in this post which talked about humbling oneself and I couldn't agree more. If you don't remain humble the majority of the time then I would say to that man "pride comes before the fall". Lets not forget the importance of having confidence when I say this, I am not saying that being confident is a bad thing, but what I am saying is that you should be sure of how you feel in the moment in which you place your bet, having completed all necessary research and due diligence trust your gut instinct at the time in which you place any bet & maybe you will be more or less at ease when you make it and have better decisiveness in doing so.

Let's just say the guy who took the risk to give that game predictors game a trial as he was lucky to win on the move.
Either the predictor nor the staker could boldly proof it that they knows the secret to winning in gambling because of they do, I'm sure gambling would automatically become a reliable source of income for them but I bet they can't accept it that way because it'll become an end to their bankroll.

From the story that the OP shared, it was obvious that the guy who placed the bet on the game was not actually sure of the game, but the reason why he did place the bet was because it was also like another bet to place that bet.
 
Assuming the game did not play as the guy predicted, it could have landed the predictor in trouble because the one who placed that bet used a large amount and believed that if it went sideways, he would pay back.

That was truly a humbling experience for him lol.

But basically people’s confidence gets boosted when they get things right. It applies to everything. Once you have that confidence, it’s easy to start something or just go for it. It seems like a huge part of human nature to have an ego that can get you anywhere you want. Even though gambling or betting do not necessarily require any kind of expertise, people still believe in themselves and think that they can beat the chance of randomness.

It’s like being lucky once and then trying out if you can be lucky a hundred times more.

Exactly right we tend to booster our confidence whenever we does things right and if it becomes uncontrollable pride will come in and that can be very misleading, when it comes to predictions it is a matter of chance of luck and nothing to actually get pride of unless you don't seem to understand that dynamics of betting such that you can not be lucky all the times, enjoy your luck while it last and never fall a victim of being over confidence which will definitely attract emotionally devastation as when the opposite happens, hence it is always better to get control of every moment.

I once had this guy coming around to bug me with weekend fixtures for coupon draws... Not until someone volunteered to stake heavily on them odds, just to prove to him that the authenticity of his games weren't guaranteed. Since he wasn't in a position to wager the games himself, the agreement was that if anyone wagers and it doesn't cut, he'll have to pay for the loss.. "I was surprised when he readily accepted". His confidence threw me off, but something kept telling me that he's got too much ballsiness for it to not.
 
Long story cut short, it was a win! yes, it became a surprise and infact, a mystery to everyone that his prediction just delivered as though he arranged with the fixed draws -- 6 draws came through and since then, he kept making predictions on that premise, but the opposite was the case for everytime he wrote down random numbers. Infact, he has never won since then!

Gambling is all about luck, sometimes you lose and sometimes your risk rewards you, betting on a game to have a full time is something I haven't done before because the chances of the game playing out that way is extremely, it's quite impressive that this friend of yours was able to get 6 draw predictions correctly, he shouldn't get carried away by that victory though, it could have gone sideways too buh like I said it's all about luck, strategies and analysis can't guarantee success
