Those who are experts in gambling would tell you that you're not guaranteed a 100% success rate no matter how skilled or how well you might cliam to have studied the game even though you're a sports Analyst or well informed in a particular sports, gambling has it risks and rewards and most times the risk is greater than the reward, I'll say it's on a ratio of 60:40 that's 60% loss compared to a 40% in winnings, most people newly introduced to sports betting have had several trials yielding losses before they attain jackpot, but it varies because some people are very lucky when it comes to gambling.

  About yesterday I came across a friend looking so depressed and sad and tried to interrogate with him then he said he felt like giving up in life and i asked why, he said he used about 80% of his savings to stake on a particular football game and lost, I felt so pity for him and had to encourage him with some advices.

  Though I've had losses in gambling but I've never had such a sad one like he's, I was introduced to gambling by a coursemate in college who won a jackpot, thought I lost in my first three trials but played again and won about 80k in my local currency, there are people that's made millions through gambling and some others are yet to win but still find it difficult to quit, share your experience if you have any whether good or bad, cause I believe there are people here who would learn from it.
Boredom really. It was in the middle of the lockdown and everything is not available, you can't even go out to spend your money elsewhere even if you wanted to. Then in a second a couple of my friends recommended that we try some online casinos and compare wins which itself will be some form of competition too, with wagers on it of course. So the highest person who gets the most wins in a month or so gets to bag the first place and a cash prize, second gets it, third, and so on. All of a sudden I just found myself gambling a lot which I realize wasn't good. I'm not even gambling for profit, I just gamble cause I wanted to be in on what the squad was doing. That's until I saw a post here made by someone who emphasized the need to control yourself and gamble responsibly. From then on I made it a point to only gamble occasionally and all that stuff.
