The main issue I see in those threads here is people totally addicted, investing a lot of money, chasing their losses, increasing their stakes after a loss.
The danger is the addiction, not the odds.
My opinion anyway.
someone who cannot control emotions when gambling if they can double their stakes after suffering a loss, but in fact this is certainly often done by everyone when gambling, the reason may be to try luck to return the capital that has been spent and hope to benefit
My thinking is that there is more at play than danger when games are
being played. Exoectation, hope, excitement, adrenaline, comradeship,
desperation and fear are all emotions which can affect the player.
