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. And this could be just you are relying on your luck and nothing more and that it could also be bad for us gamblers in the long run. But then again, we love to take risk and so maybe there will be some of us who might be already have this in mind as a kind of "strategy" and they could have won money already. Are you that type of gambler that has kind of mentality? It could be that is obviously flawed in the beginning so there could be gamblers that are now willing, or maybe as I have said, we might have been using it already but we just didn't know.
I had the same feeling in the past when I was "betting on luck" and had a premonition that this bet was unsuccessful, but I still made this bet. Of course, this bet could not change my life in a material sense, but it was still interesting to try to risk in this way. Unfortunately, this risk turned out to be fruitless.
It seems to me that no matter who bet on, the underdog or the favorite, in any case, the gambler still relies on luck.
