It's so disheartening on how some gamblers tend to gamble irresistibly knowing their chances of winning is limited, I think that's one signs of being addicted. Moreso gambling is set aside for entertainment purposes and when you expect too much from it than what it is, you end up being stucked and have yourself to balme.
We gamble with the hope that we can win something, not because we believe that we can win or because we know we can't also win, but because it's all a game of probability. It's someone who gambles out of desperation, overconfidence, and too much confidence and stakes high that shows some kind of addiction because someone who is in control should be able to know that there is no guarantee for return with the money you have already staked, talk more of the potential winning amount.
There’s a 50-50 chance of winning or losing a bet when we gamble, but sometimes it’s advisable to first stake your bet on the better team if you’re betting between two teams, you know which is the better side or the team most placed in the better position to win a game. Most persons due to greed, they ignore this fact and probably go for the team with the biggest odd to place their bets on them with the believe that it’s a 50-50 chance for everyone to either win or lose and sometimes it works for them, you will see this team who were better placed to win end up losing against this other weaker team that has the highest odds for winning.
