That's the hook as a gambler. Also, has that hope that they will make some money while trying to get that entertainment.
I see your point that there are, if not all, who really love to take that risk and expect to make money
from gambling, and like the post above you, if you can be the banker, the chance is for real that you
can make more money, but as a regular gambler the chance is slim.
If I didn't read about David Walsh, an Australian professional gambler, I wouldn't have believed that some people actually can manage to win against the casino in the long term.
He also did this a long time ago when everything wasn't as sophisticated, so I reckon it's almost really impossible these days.
But yeah, it's pretty much impossible to win against the house.
