I think some do but, I guess its not good to think, like that why? gambling don't works like that, in gambling its more on the losing side than winning, it is not a good way to plan for financial goal with gambling, believe me it will make your life miserable.
No offense to anyone who has the purpose of doing that but it's a dumb move to entrust their financial goals in gambling.
It is like relying on luck alone for that purpose. Waiting for that luck to come on their side before securing their financial goals. That purpose is only for lazy people. If only they do something to secure their finances for good, no need to wait for a thousand years just for luck to come.
It's a do or die risk, there is a 50:50 chance of the result, it's either you win or lose, simple as that, nonetheless, gamblers still repeat the same mistakes until they make it right (when the odds favor on them), however, mostly, the consequence at the end is to suffer from their losses (can't help it) since it is too late already before you know that your bet was never for you in the first place, it is for the house edge win.
I can't say that it is dumb but not smart at the same time, probably we should call it "gamble", as in to risk whatever you had to be able to see what's in the future of your actions.
