Does the illusion of control make people gamble more? Do features like picking numbers in lottery games or choosing when to spin a slot reel give a false sense of influence?

Yeah, that illusion is real. I remember spending way too much time picking “lucky” numbers for lottery tickets, thinking I had some special strategy. Truth is, randomness doesn’t care what you pick, but having choices makes it feel like you’re in control. I think that’s why many get hooked — they think skill is involved when it's mostly chance. After going through 1xbet registration nigeria, I started focusing more on sports betting where you can actually research and make informed decisions, not just rely on gut feelings. It’s still gambling, but at least there’s logic involved.
