Because what’s the thrill? That you might win money? But then if you intentionally go in with your sentiment, there is no money to be won. The thrill is gone.
You do not need to objectively benefit from a positive outcome in order to enjoy it. My local sports team wins at least once per blue moon, and I feel good despite neither profiting from, nor contributing to their successes.
I can understand if it doesn’t do it for you, but I’ve found a great deal of joy in things that do not materially benefit me. I like it better that way.

Why not just play a video game instead?
