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. 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?
"Hope", they say is what fuels motivation to keep and continue gambling even when in that present, it doesn't seem like things are going as initial planned or imagined, many gamblers live in the hope that one day, they would win that breakthrough amount of money that would change their lives for the better forever, so for this reason, they keep gambling, they keep playing even when they are going through constant loses with the total amount of money they have lost to gambling compounding and compounding.
Remember the saying that goes "quitters never win, and winners never quit"?, yeah, this is one of such reasons why most gamblers and sports bettors keep going regardless of their current situation, they believe they are just one game away to winning a huge sum of money, and of they quit playing now, they lose out on that opportunity, meanwhile, reality made us understand that we can't keep doing the same thing and expect a different result.
