This is why some people are getting convinced to wager more than they usually do, which is not a smart idea, but it is unfortunately happening at all times.
Well, aside from chasing VIP wagering requirements being the reason players are wagering more than normal, I think the daily races and weekly races also contribute to the scenario. Stakes' daily races of $100k prizes are very enticing. Aside from that, there are lots of promotions available on stakes where prizes are really worth extending our wagering.
