When gambling there are options that always look very enticing but those ones are the most dangerous to pick because its actually a trap..This is why I don't pick an option in gambling based on the number of odds, when the odds are very small we feel absolutely safe at that point you are already in a psychological trap. When it's too obvious it's definitely a trap, But this always seem to be case, you can't get trapped in every situation,. This is probably your terrible experience with gambling someone else might have something different to say about it.
I will agree with your explanation, but I don't buy the idea of betting on small odd to neither be a way of excaping trap of being too obvious to be true. Because even some Small odd may also be too obvious a trap. which after you bet on it hoping to win since the odd are little, they may disappoint you. When something is too obviously a trap it's is not only when something is highly attractive but also less attractive to be true. Meaning that the lesser thing you see as an escape routes can also be a trap, but just that it may not appear so obvious.
To be able to avoid the traps of the bets we place, we must be able to understand well the bets we will play, when we choose to bet on small odds in the hope of winning the bet, of course this is not the right way to avoid traps and if we have understood well the bets we play, of course we are very careful when placing bets and will not choose to bet if we are not sure about the chances they will get when betting, hoping too much to win the bets we will play will indeed make us disappointed when we can't win them, so we must be able to enjoy every bet we play so as not to make us even more disappointed when we don't win when betting.
