Why not try to do the same while enjoying the game? We don't know when luck will back it up and win a very decent amount of money.
I don't advise people to play for the sake of "earning money" or repeating someone's success tho. Players share their winning here for the sake of "lol," fun, entertainment, and happy feelings. We (gamblers) know that for every action (profit) there's equal reaction (loss)

But yeah, you touch the more important point, that is to enjoy the game! I think this year I've already in net loss, but I've no regret about it.
