For risk lovers and those with money in their pockets, betting on the impossible is probably a common occurrence, if it can entertain them. I am a bit of a bore at heart, and I will not such bets because I have stopped believing in miracles. For me, a miracle is already that I can win where the victory seems obvious, but it happens literally at the last moment.
Betting on things that are obscure and impossible for some people will spur their adrenaline, so it will be a challenge that makes them dare to bet even if the winning percentage is low.
People who have a lot of money and are crazy enough will do that, but I'm just like you, who don't believe in miracles that end up having to lose money in a very sad way.
It is better to choose what is already obvious, despite the slight advantage.
