Yes, the development of the era has made most young people change their habits, which initially preferred to do something physical such as playing with friends, but now social media or internet networks or playing online games with friends are the main choices when they have boring free time. On the other hand, this situation makes young people more distant from their parents, it is possible, but you can't just say that with a young person getting to know gambling, they will definitely be able to manage their gambling activities well, having the opportunity to get to know gambling from an early age without being supervised by parents is a dangerous situation, it can threaten their future when they misunderstand what and how gambling really is.
I even overheard a conversation between several young guys yesterday on public transport, they were discussing bets and who to bet on to win more. I didn't interfere with their conversation, I just listened, and since I know a lot about bets and gambling, I thought that they would most likely lose, but their belief that they could get rich on this was very high, most likely time and experience will then show the other side of gambling and I would like them to learn quickly, and not throw their entire salary into these bets like into a furnace with a stove. I hope they occasionally play, this is their small hobby without excessive passion and greed.
From the story you told about two people discussing their plans to bet, I think they might be beginners who are still very obsessed with winning in gambling so that they are so very sure that the results will definitely win even though on the other hand before the results come out, defeat will always be part of the game.
Honestly, I can't think like you think that the two people will lose because in any case the chance of winning is still possible, but what is certain is that they have the wrong mindset and mentality towards gambling because they are too confident in winning, and in the end of course excessive trust and confidence will lead them to significant regret and disappointment when the results are not as expected.
