Body Paragraphs Jose Alvarado Argosy University Abstract The first and most common problem that an irresponsible winner faces after winning is reckless spending. Reckless spending is when an irresponsible individual starts a spending spree just because they have the money to do so. This sort of spending is dangerous because the individual is under the delusion that they can afford anything in the world. This sort of spending can put the individual into inevitable money problems and into debt. People cannot be millionaires overnight and know how to act when they receive large sums of money.

Therefore, we get 18 20 P {X > 0} = P {win first bet} + P {lose, win, win} = + · 38 38 18 38 2 ≈ 0.5981. (b) The strategy described above is not a “winning” strategy because if the gambler wins then he or she wins $1. However, a loss would either be $1 or $3. (c) We first note that the random variable X can take on 1, −1 and −3, where “–” denotes that the gambler loses money. Then we obtain P {X = 1} = P {win first bet} + P {lose, win, win} = 18 20 + · 38 38 18 · 38 18 38 20 38 2 2 , , P {X = −1} = P {lose, lose, win} + P {lose, win, lose} = 2 · P {X = −3} = P {lose, lose, lose} = 20 38 3 .
He is choosing certainty over uncertainty, and is risk averse. An individual who purchases a lottery ticket is subjecting himself to a large chance of losing a small amount (£1 for lottery ticket) and a small chance of winning a large amount, rather than keeping his £1 to avoid risk all together (Friedman and Savage. 1948). Any decision under risk can be represented by a choice among lotteries. The general form of a lottery is [(x1,p1),(x2,p2),(x3,p3),…,(xn,pn)] where xi are objects, usually units of wealth that the individual will get if state i occurs, and pi the probability that state i occurs.
Then you have some that are such big gamblers that they bet their homes, cars and empty their bank accounts to feed the addiction that they have.

An experiment to examine the effects that group behaviour has on risky-decision making; the risky shift phenomenon Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate the effects that being part of a group has on risky decision-making. 33 participants took part and each completed a questionnaire individually, and then again in a group of 3. The questionnaire was made up of 5 real-life risky scenarios, the participants were asked to decide the smallest probability that they found acceptable, 1 in 10 was the most risky, 9 in 10 was the safest answer. The hypothesis was that participants would take greater risks when in groups than as an individual, aiming to provide support for previous studies into this area. The results however did not support the hypothesis.

The major downside, however, is that one could lose it all in an instant. Consequently, as the addiction to continue chasing the jackpot grows, an insurmountable debt accumulates. Moreover, the urge to keep gambling becomes too great to abandon and eventually becomes financially problematic. Available evidence suggests that job loss and unemployment rates among gambling addicts are very high. This is because the gambling distractions cause decreased job productivity and multiple missed days at work.
