I mean, of course, sports betting. In casino games based on chance, such as roulette, many more people will not be able to get rich - 99.9% or 99.99% or even 99.999%. There are many prerequisites for such a forecast. On the one hand, we know the statistics, although they are contradictory. The overwhelming majority of players, approaching 99%, according to various estimates, lose money in sports betting in the long term. If you ask me for links to studies, then, I'm afraid I will have nothing to show you. This is very difficult to do and difficult to achieve truthful results. Not all players are inclined to tell the truth and it will be difficult for an outside researcher to verify. However, the longer the period we take, the more likely it is that the winners are only people who were lucky.
Gambling has always been this way and sports betting is no different, if you're lucky you go home with the wins and you can never be assured of any wins until the end of the event. Take for example yesterday, my friends and I staked on the supposed underdogs for the Supercup which is Tottenham and it was going very well, around 90 minutes, a friend of mine cashed out a good win and we were disapproving of his actions not knowing that he would end up being luckier than most of us who were waiting for the final whistle.
So I wonder what motivates people who want to get rich on sports betting if they believe in such a pattern? Do the players sincerely believe in their own exceptionalism and genius?
The possibilities motivates people, there are testimonies even from the streets of people who landed one huge win and became rich from sports betting, most people get delusional about the possibility of the next big win comming to them, so they do not give up on the mentality, instead they bet more to have more chances at hitting it big
