I don't because me and the people who I gamble with are very knowledgeable regarding what and whom we gamble with. We rarely let emotion, feeling or gut instincts drive us. We are all about the odds given and believe it or not, 99% of the time we don't even care who the underdog or favourite is, unless something happens at the last minute (ie starting quarterback hurt, goalie sick etc) and if we see nothing that will profit us or at least break even, we don't gamble.
I can understand why people think it is illogical because they see and hear about people continually losing more than winning. Honestly if you lose more than you win you shouldn't gamble. It means you are not good at it. Gambling is a skill and if your guessing instead of doing your homework, you will lose.
You don't win everytime but winning 65-75% of the time is very successful, and if you are smart about it, is very possible.
