Actually some players just gamble in fear and they won't take their own personal decision. They fear failure despite how much they have, they would go with the public in a decisive match like El Clasicos and this is talking about the newbies. So control or the amount of money that you have many times may not matter especially if you have been on a losing streak. Loses can actually destabilize a gambler, get them confused and so they wager from public opinion.
