I think the situation is surprising and unexpected. In sports betting like soccer, we might pick a player who scores a goal or bet on a complete underdog against a strong team.
I've made several such bets, and it's rare to achieve a surprise win by relying solely on luck. Yes, such bets can be won simply by relying on luck, or by a bettor who can truly predict the future.

Yes, but by doing so we increase our risk, and I would not like luck to be the main factor on which my bets are based. I prefer more thorough analysis and a constant search for the best strategy. Of course, I may never find it, but I would rather try than not do it at all and enjoy the process. All this is what I like about betting, it is more than a hobby for me and I am even ready to lose money sometimes, but I do not get upset, because I understand that losses are part of the game. But if a player does not know how to lose, that can become a real problem.

If you don't mind losing money, you might occasionally try placing a bet on an unlikely or rare outcome. If you lose, it won't matter much to you. But if you're lucky, you might get a pleasant surprise, as such bets often have good odds.
The risk is obviously increased, and such bets can't be made consistently. If you're just betting for fun, you can bet small amounts on fun options.
