Yes, perhaps some of the ideas of philosopher and writer Nassim Taleb can be applied to gambling.
For example, one of Taleb’s most famous concepts is the “Black Swan” concept. A black swan is an unexpected event that leads to great consequences in people's lives. As a result of cognitive distortions, people consider the occurrence of such an event to be less likely than it actually is.
A gambler can take advantage of these cognitive distortions (which cause people to misjudge the probabilities of events), for example, in sports betting.
Searching for “Black Swans” is generally an exciting and very profitable activity!
He's not a philosopher; he is a mathematical statistician who devoted his work to problems of randomness, probability, and uncertainty, and if I'm honest, I hadn't heard of him before I read this thread. His views regarding probabilities are extremely intriguing, and I'd be interested in reading some of his publications, especially The Black Swan, which, according to his book, "focuses on the extreme impact of rare and unpredictable outlier events—and the human tendency to find simplistic explanations for these events.".
Personally, I could only relate to the "fooled by randomness" theory, which is something we've all experienced in one way or another, and it's often a topic of discussion about how we're being "cheated" when we wager larger amounts and lose.
