As a gambler, have you ever felt this kind of mentality? That is, let's say in sports betting, wherein you bet on the long shot or a huge underdog but at the back of your mind, you thought that you will not win, but there is still small hope inside of you that this could be a life changing and so you go and bet with your close eyes.
Yeah I always experience this sensation during a bet. I always try to contradict the general odds for the game. Usually I like betting on least bettor choose even the team I betted for is an underdog. At the back og my mind, odds arent accurate and its depend on the team playing, theres always have a chance to win as those odds are just predictable made to have a factor or implication on betting.
