The houses always win, are you the house or the gambler?
Remember only idiot take high risk to get high reward.
if you don't consider your self as an idiot then never gamble lol, because gambling is place where people wanted to risk to earn big and that is reality , if you don't know that then you know nothing about gambling that's it.
And I think its not wrong to try your luck in gambling, if you win then great, if you lose then so be it thats the consequences of being a gambler and you should be aware of this kind of scenario. There's no house if there's no gambler but it doesnt mean you're at the wrong position, as long as you enjoy what you do and has a guts to face the risk then you're free to make a choice.
Gambling is mostly a Luck games , there are some who claims that sportsbetting is a gambling form that can use skills and knowledge yet it is still a Luck based game in which you can lose even how hard you try to find who will win.
also why do we gamble? because we want our money to doubled or even much higher.
and why call Idiot the people that take high risk?
maybe he does not remember that the higher you risk is the higher your chance to earn more .
best not to believe what OP mentioned and instead lets think that he is the IDIOT here and not risk takers like us.
