You're right, but there are many factors that influence people, one of them is social media , you see that when you're on YouTube there are many influencers who show that they win, the need to have more money, there are many things that people consume unintentionally , and that's what needs to be controlled, there are many people who fall for casino scams, and there are many who lose too much money gambling, for this you have to be very mature in money management.
Social media hype is very detrimental. Those content creators are just there for the money the generate on the respective platforms example the YouTube cited. Many of them come in with edited and overhyped bet tickets claiming huge wins meanwhile in reality they never won anything tangible.
Most of the casino scams people fall for are through social media engagements. In gambling losing is sure but winning is never a guarantee. Winning is under probability but losing is almost like a certainty. The amount of risk that is worth taking depends on individuals but on average I will say a risk that doesn't exceed the initial budget.
