Re: Does your excitement in gambling depend on bet size?

I’ve noticed something in my own experience. When I gamble with a small amount, it sometimes feels boring, like I’m just clicking buttons and wasting time, even if I win. There’s no real thrill.
But when I place a bet big enough that it makes me feel something, that’s when the excitement kicks in. Win or lose, the adrenaline makes it entertaining. Of course, I still try to bet within my limits, but I can’t deny that the size of the bet changes how I enjoy the game.
[1] So I’m curious - do you guys also feel that gambling only becomes fun when the money at risk is “big enough” for you?
[2] Or can you still enjoy it even with small stakes?

For me, small bets never really trigger anything exciting, even if I win. It just feels like I’m going through the motions, once the stakes are bigger and there is more on the line, there is definitely a rush that makes it feel alive because if I win, I win a lot of money. But on a real note, win or lose, that adrenaline always hits different and it doesn’t happen every time but there is no denying that the size of what's at risk changes the way I experience it.
