why not play 2 or 3 or 4 or even 10 dollars a day at a long shot when you earn the safe mining. and the long shot mine plays way better then the cost. just takes time.
I know it's a rhetorical question, but if anyone cares - variance is the answer to "why not". The 1:3664 chance for the pool to find a block means it would take 10 years on average, but it's not a 100% chance in 10 years. I'm too lazy to calculate now but there's probably like a 10% chance that it won't hit a block in 20 years.
I'm not saying this is a wrong strategy - like you said, compared to casino gambling you have an edge here as long as the cost/difficulty ratio is favorable. It's still a massive gamble though.
I am not a very political person. Some would say I am lacking principal. But I will be uninstalling Firefox for sure. Not sure what that accomplishes. But I do not want to have ANYTHING to do with supporting the sorts of garbage they seem to be supporting.
If you're not political you should ignore the noise, uninstall Chrome/Edge/etc and support Firefox. Seriously, most of the other browsers are a steaming pile of garbage developed by the largest spyware company in the world.
No it is a low cost high risk high yield investment
a massive gamble would be playing the 1300th at solo vs the 15th at solo.
a lot of people fail to understand the principle of
low cost high risk high yield investment
they think it is a gamble.
there is a huge difference playing
say NY lotto pick it a 10000 to 1 shot that pays 5000 to 1 = gambling
don't do thisor a solo pool that is a 10000 to 1 shot that pays 30000 to 1 = low cost high risk high yield investment
do this
