It's always about whales who know what they are doing. They may win or lose, but they know when to get in and when not to get in. That is how they became whales in the first place, if they knew that it would be a wrong move then they wouldn't do something like that at all. This is why I have to say that it is better if we just leave them to be, and not even try to come close to them.

I know there are a lot of people who would wager the minimum and hope that they could end up wagering for a long time without running out of money, maybe even end up with a big win to keep it going for a long time. But if you are not a whale, do not risk your money like that ever.

That is a bit about them being a whale, but if they are truly a whale then they would get in in face of another whale, to show which one is bigger. You do not become someone enough to retire ten years ago and still keep going. Whales have more than enough money to retire, in our world if you have 1 million dollars then you can retire, no matter where you live because investments will make sure that you never run out even if you spent it.

Even with inflation you would be fine because rates go up, and investment returns go up with it. This shows the world that if you have more, then you are in it for the leaderboard game, not just here, but in life and that is why they wouldn't give up if they were true whales.

That is in investment and I get that, sure people would want more money and they would want to be at the top of the "rich" list. What do you think forbe's richest people list is? That is literally the leaderboard for richest people to beat each other, doesn't need to be for the top position because that's available only for few people to fight to get, but even going from 88th to 65th means you did something right and got richer, and that's not the same as gambling. Here, we know what we are doing will be making us lose money because gambling is always a house edged thing and will make you lose, so why try to whale your way into winning this case.
