You have a point on this however it’s still a case to case basis depending on user preference on what they are seeking when they gamble.
It’s true a sense of control might be dangerous due to over confidence that will lead to huge bet and potentially losing big time.
But slot players typically looking forward to huge jackpot prize that’s why they are eager to play consistently despite losing many times.
You have a good point that has been neglected. Sports bettors sometimes think they are masters of the game and can even bet more than they can afford since they assume they have done a comprehensive analysis. It is common to hear them say this team will definitely win, just like the game between Chelsea and PSG, where many of them lost big. But since Gamblers are aware that they don't have any control over casino games, they gamble with caution. But my concern about casino games is the speed at which you could play and lose money.
