Hi folks,

Yes, as the title says, I see a lot of negativity here with many people complaining. But the issue is not about the odds. You can win even when the odds are not in your favor.

I will explain: many random people everywhere in the world, managed on a random day to win at the national lottery, several million $. Yet, the odds were not in their favor at all! National lotteries actually impose a much bigger margin (protection) to make sure they win more than they lose.

The point is: you can win big on a given day, if you get lucky. And yes luck strikes everywhere once in a while.

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.

It is true, that addiction is really the main problem with gambling and being greedy as well, so many people playing gambling because they wanted to win a jackpot or they wanted to win big money. A lot gamblers are losing a lot of money because of this and once we are addicted it is now hard for us to control or manage our emotions.

People knows that it is very possible to get addicted for gambling but still they want to do it as you said because of greediness. Gambling is both risky because of addiction nd also woth odds,some cases people don't spend much time in gambling but they lost everything in it because of high bets.
