It's just another phenomenon that gamblers often assumes that they have some control over the outcome of their bets especially if they have been doing it for a while even though every time is just purely random there's no skill involved. Take dice for an example we might assume that we can control and influence the result of it by throwing softer or harder or in anyway that our brain recognize a pattern and keep tells us it's a way to win the game. So let's discuss about it.

Yeah, this phenomenon is from the class of illusions to which plenty of gamblers ^{me included} fall at the beginning of their gambler's journey. However, believe me, in a couple of years it will gradually disappear and people involved will read the betting room. Regarding dice, I think the throwing skill is really matter here ^{at least I knew the man who win more than often owing his art.}

And it's really hard to phantom this, I mean we all thought that we are in control when we gamble, but the fact is that we don't know if we are losing or winning because we don't take note of that, shows that we are not in control and everything that we might think is only just an illusion.

Funny though is that I have a small talk with a senior guy and he also says this kind of illusion of control. So I guess he has been gambling for years already that he knows what kind of control gambling has in our system and again, when we thought that we are in control, as he says, is very wrong mindset in the beginning and we should snap out of it.
