The point here is that people place bets simply for fun, not out of greed for large profits with small stakes. If you frequently place bets on seemingly impossible bets and believe you'll win, then I think you're addicted to gambling. Impossible bets are usually made for fun or when someone feels like a miracle will happen in a match. Some of my friends also allow themselves to place impossible bets, but they assume they won't win. It's just for fun. Sports are full of dramatic moments and magical moments. And that's what makes sports so exciting to watch. It's the same when an underdog team becomes champion, like Leicester in the Premier League, or a team like Bodo that makes it all the way to the semifinals of a European competition.
