another similar (to some degree) manifestation of the law can be found in gambling, where gamblers tend to remember their wins and forget their losses, even if the latter far outnumbers the former (though depending on a particular person, the opposite may also be truth when they think they need more analysis of their losses to achieve fine tuning of their playing system). mikal aasved links it with "selective memory bias", allowing gamblers to mentally distance themselves from the consequences of their gambling by holding an inflated view of their real winnings (or losses in the opposite case - "selective memory bias in either direction").
