Gambling is inherently uncertain, and there are no guarantees of winning, regardless of how much money or effort one puts into it. Gamblers need to recognize and accept this reality to avoid disappointment and potential harm. Excessive or compulsive gambling behaviour often stems from a misguided belief that one can control or influence the outcome of games of chance. However, in reality, the outcomes of gambling activities are determined by random chance or probability, and no amount of skill, strategy, or investment can ensure a win.
Placing excessive hopes or expectations on gambling can lead to disappointment, financial loss, and emotional distress when the desired outcomes are not achieved. It's essential for gamblers to approach gambling with a realistic understanding of its inherent risks and limitations, and to gamble responsibly within their means. By acknowledging the uncertainty of gambling and reframing expectations, gamblers can make more informed decisions and avoid the pitfalls of excessive gambling behaviour.
This is why it is called gambling but even though some attempts to cheat it, there are still no guarantees that they can get successful as I already saw who get caught out. I think that exerting more effort might increase our chances, especially if the game is not luck-based but we should not only expect or hope too much, so that our mood are still going to be fine.
OP asks if we are excited while gambling, well the answer is definitely yes because it is like a box of chocolate where we don't know if what we can get. Maybe some will get nervous because they risk a huge money, or money that is intended for something more important, but I'm sure the feeling of excitement is still there.
