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.
That is what many gamblers simply refuse to accept, we have stories of successful gamblers that made money for a very long time, but this was decades ago, can that kind of success still be gotten today? And I have my sincere doubts about it, and even if it is still possible it should be many times harder than back in those days and anyone thinking about reaching that kind of goal is simply wasting their time and running the risk of becoming addicted to gambling in the process.
