Being optimistic when we gamble is normal. We think that it's our lucky day and that keeps us gambling even if we're in losses.
The risk would be just fine and we as gamblers can take that because what is on our mind is we'll get back to it the next day.
So, the fun is actually on how we recover and you'd see the same stories of losing and drawing back to gambling despite being in a losing streak.
Gamblers are always optimistic about everything and they don't joke with winning and we know that it's good to be positive but the only thing that counts is either you win or you lose and it was all based on luck because without luck then there is no winning and that is the risk that gambling comes with. And a lot of people are ready to dance with what ever it comes with and the problem is people don't know when to stop and that is what is dragging a lot of people down. But eventually they might just end up learning the hard way.
