honestly it's hard to imagine that a person can lose 40 consecutive times, to be honest that person even playing dice at auto bet won't have so much bad luck to the point of losing a lot consecutively, but nothing is impossible in gambling, if the person loses more than 5 consecutive times in sports betting, then this person needs to stop playing with greater urgency, otherwise this person will be walking towards addiction and will sell everything he has to continue playing, because in games of chance in which luck depends on winning if the person is not lucky enough to win something considerable even when he has played many games then he needs to stop playing that game and try another game
Well, if the person losses in sports betting 5 consecutive times, it means he needs to stop because of the possibility of addiction but because he has no skill or knowledge about the sports and the teams behind it. He is probably just guessing making sports betting a game of chance instead of skill-based.
I saw a lot of people playing plinko for example and so I thought about playing too, at first I managed to convert from 5$ to 13$ but for some strange reason since I started losing, I didn't stop losing until I reached 0$, honestly that day I felt bad, but so bad that I stopped playing plinko forever, until my day turned bad, I couldn't understand how it was possible to lose so much, from 13 to 0 in a short time, but today I see that gambling that depend on luck are not worth playing because I won't be lucky to win something
Don't be surprised, I think almost all kinds of chance based game is designed like that. You can also experience it on dice and slots. The longer we stay in one game the higher the chance of losing.
