Yes, that is one way of looking at it. But in that sense, everything we do in life is a gamble

Everything we do is a gamble.
That is the saying I always think when I was getting to the stage where in I really need to man up. Every thing you decided to do is a gamble and everything you picked will lead to a consequence and there is a risk on it. That is the same in gambling but we are just risking money though there are consequences on what will happen. In terms of strategy, I guess there is a lot of things you can do but I doubt that it will be a sure profit as we all know there is still a risk and consequence on what we will be doing and choosing.
