Do y'all feel people are much more excited when they read about a huge loss.... the likes of Drake etc??
I doubt people are excited about a fellow gamblers loss. Drake's case is only popular because he's a celebrity if not gamblers don't give a damn about how much you've lost. News about how much a certain gambler has won always encourages most persons to gamble more giving them the impression that luck could also shine on them. Thier are betting centres where people even like gambling in because they've heard that people win more at such betting centres and more people would want to bet in such place with the hope of getting a good result from thier.
How would you approach a case where your close friend wagers on almost a similar game with yours, and he wins but yours goes wide? Do you feel jealous in a way that you'd assume them to lose as well?
gambling is a game of luck and if you don't win, someone wins at the other end. If you're even lucky that your friend won, it should be a thing of joy and not something to become sad about. We know normally because you hard the chance of winning just like your friend did, you're going to fell a slight form of regret why you didn't bet Same game that he did but that doesn't change what has already happened. My friend has sent me a game that he predicted will play and gave me to place a bet on that game. I was just not moved to bet during that weekend and I less than three hours, he sent me screenshots of his win. The thought of regret came to me at that point but I just shook it off and allow it pass.
