Answer to Question 1

False. While that could be the reason, there are others. Either the person likes gambling for entertainment reasons, or the person does not understand the probabilities associated with each payout.

Answer to Question 2

False. A fair game is one in which the expected value of the payoff to the player is equal to the cost of playing.
