The person who invented the paper airplane game is a real genius.

Everyone knows about that very popular little airplane from India, right? The model is very simple, but it particularly captures the psychological traits of players.

Some players, if they cash out too early and see the rocket still flying, will regret getting off too soon, especially when it eventually reaches a 400x multiplier, then they say: "I didn't expect it to go so high, did I set it too low..."

Some players are more greedy, wanting to wait a bit longer for a higher multiplier, but then it crashes. What could have been a 20 or 30 times gain instantly drops to zero, leaving them stunned. The pain of the loss is so great that even double the happiness cannot compensate (psychology, loss aversion theory).

Some players dare to lose but not to win, playing until maybe a 1.3x multiplier then quickly cash out (loss aversion theory again), resulting in small wins but big losses, and losing more and more.

Some players get jealous, seeing other players (possibly insiders) cash out at very high multipliers, thinking they could be just as lucky, so they continue to gamble.

The person who came up with this gameplay is like the genius who invented blackjack hundreds of years ago!
