For most day-to-day decisions we can use a shortcut like a rule of thumb or an educated guess and most of the time things will work out okay. In other words the decisions we make may not be perfect but they will get the job done most of the time. Can you think of a rule of thumb that works well for you as you go about your daily business but could be used as a reason for a gambler to continue their addictive behavior? (i.e. if at first you dont succeed try try again)
