I got burned badly a couple of years ago during March Madness. Everyone I knew was betting on the same team, and social media made it look like the easiest win of the season. I didn’t even think twice, just put a big chunk of my bankroll on it. The team not only lost but didn’t even cover, and I felt like a total fool for not seeing the trap. Since then I’ve been more cautious about blindly trusting where the majority puts their money. It made me realize that hype doesn’t always equal value, and sometimes the so-called “obvious” choice is just a setup.

What always gets me is how unpredictable the swings can be. You can have every stat in your corner and still watch the outcome flip in the final seconds. That moment where you realize you’re at the mercy of pure chance is both terrifying and kind of addictive. It’s the uncertainty that keeps people hooked.
