I guess many of us that occasionally play originals games know this. Lets say on dice you choose a side, at coin flip you choose one side or at limbo you choose a multiplier and then play. Mostly I, and I know many others do the same, stay on the one side and stick with it, often just adjusting the wager if a losing run comes to smaller bets (hopefully).
I for example often had the (I know it's wrong) mindset that when I switch the side my original side would come more, and actually in my history it always does all of the sudden.
I know all the babbling about “provably fair” and so on, yet that’s my personal experience.
So why not changing the side? Is it because of not trusting fair play, or is it because of being superstitious, or something else?
My way to think in this is always the same: I have already lost of dozens times by choosing this side, so it can not be possible that the odds are so unfair to me and keep working against me. The next outcome need to be different.
Then come the second thought that keeps me to bet in the same side: what if I switch after so many bets and the outcome finally change? I would never forgive myself for not sticking with it a little longer.
In my case, these two thoughts are what make me stick with the same bet over and over again. I am the type of person who would rather stop play or lose my entire bankroll than switch sides and abandon what that I believe. That is also why, when it comes to sports betting, I place my bets in advance and never change them before or during the game. I stick with them until the very end... I never change them and I never cash out early, I always go to all or nothing!
