The Behavioural science of gambling
'People have asymmetric reactions to losses and gains while gambling. Compare winning $10 in one gamble with winning $5 twice. Most people would prefer to win twice. What bout ,losing $10 in one game as compared with losing $5 in each of two gamble? Her. most people prefer one loss. That is why any company dealing with customers must break pleasant experiences into multiple stages and combine unpleasant ones into a single stage.
Now consider the 'sequence effects' on gambling. People prefer a sequence of experiences that improve over time. When gambling, people prefer to lose $10 first, then win $5, rather than win $5, then lose $10. There is also evidence that people pay attention to the rate of improvement in a sequence - clearly preferring ones that improve faster.'
