about 10 years ago i discovered that gambling also consists of skill based games (such a poker). And it was probably one of the best things that happened in my life.
Thanks to that, i never worked a day of "normal" job ever, i did not have to.
I prefer strategic gambling with amount that I can afford to lose. No gmabler become suddently rich by gmabling, let alone being billionaire.
Maybe not a billionaire, but just by being extremely lucky some tiny % of gamblers can become rich (without being good at the game)
If you take poker, for a example, there are known examples of horrible players who were just lucky enough to win either 1 big tournament or some sort of a jackpot. But chances of that are like winning a lottery so its pretty much irrelevant.
Indeed there are skill gambling games but people think its really easy to become one, of course you can win money on poker but only a few can mantain a constant profit, you can make money on sports bets but then again only a few can mantain constant profit.
Remember wherever there is a winner theres also a loser.
