As I'm new to this, what's the reasoning behind several pickers not selecting the gamball at all?

The gamball is optional (the others are not), so if you don’t want to risk playing it, you don’t have to. So far this season most players have benefited from playing it but sadly, not all!

I understand it's optional, but are players not selecting it because they lose more then they win ?   Or am I missing something.

As the name suggests, its a risk v reward decision. The Gamball provides huge points if you get it spot on but has a negative if you get it wrong, coupled with the fact that it is usually used on a game that could go either way its about assessing the risk.
