Not everyone plays like you.
This kind of mindset where you take gambling as an entertainment is just to manage how you react to losses. If you treated gambling as a source of income, you will be desperate and most likely not think straight out of desperation. You will be more frustrated and eager to win since you take it seriously.
Some people give it their all efforts even if it is just for fun. So not everyone plays like you. They simply study everything for the love of sport and gambling.
