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.
It is unlikely that we will be able to win from the house, even though we can win a little from the house, and it feels like that is enough for us because the money we win can sometimes be bigger than other people who have also won it. Getting success from gambling is not easy, and we must realize that and not try it because the risks will be bigger than we think. The same is felt by people who have gambled in the past because they see the possibility of winning a lot of money is not as big as we feel now. So rather than we can only be disappointed knowing that we are still far from being successful in gambling, we shouldn't insist on continuing to play gambling to become successful gamblers. Maybe it's better for us because we can enjoy gambling as we should.

starting to play in a casino is like knowing you are playing a rigged game that you probably will miss and lose
if your mindset when starting is being ok with the idea of losing all your money: proceed
otherwise, reavaliate your principles and actions

best to approach like that.
