How many times have you gone against the crowd and smiled to the bank
I have gone against the crowd so many times but I seldom smiled to the bank for doing so, there is a high risk if you continue doing this, you'll going to do this only if you have a lot of funds to spare, if you don't have, you are going to lose a lot.
the temptation is always there and if it is well calculated and you are sure, then try your luck it could be your lucky day.
Going against the crowd or, in other words, betting on something that is very unlikely to happen, has nothing to do with the amount of money someone can afford to lose. In many cases people lose more when they go
with the crowd, because the payout of such bets is small, and in order to win $10 you have to wager over $50, and in the case of bad luck you lose your $50. While if someone aiming to win $10 going
against the majority, he/she can risk something around $2, and either lose it or win $10 in case of good luck.
