Well, there are a few times, or I mean lots of times where I'm doing that thing.

Not in the underdog only, but when I see spreads, and totals (on Basketball) that for me, is a bit attractive in terms of odds and if I believe that there's a chance that it will cover it then I will bet on it despite the risk.
There are times where I'm winning which is good, but there are more times where I'm losing, and I'm okay with it. At the end of the day, gambling is all about luck, and I know that it's bad for gamblers to rely on luck in the long run that's why I'm not constantly gambling, and only spending a few bucks because I know that at some point, my luck will ran out.
