Gambling is known to be a game of pure luck but also probability, that's if you are good at math, this is what a fellow employee said to me, he then told me to look Chris Ferguson up, to my surprise this man won millions in gambling using math, I read this man is really good at math,

He created his own gambling strategy for poker completely on math and game theory instead of trying to focus monitoring the players, this man won five world series bracelets 🤦 and over 8 millions dollars in gambling tournaments.

There is also another man called James Simons, who is named the greatest gambler of all, he made more money using math than Chris Ferguson, James net worth is over 20 billions, I was shocked, because I use to think it's impossible to gamble using any skills, this is a skill on a another level, I am mad that I am just knowing this not too long ago.

School is not important as 96% of what you learn won't be used in the real world to make money, but this 4% left is making a lot of people rich, math and gambling seems to go with each other, what do you guys think? Am I wrong or right?

I am not 100% sure but there was a professor of math who used to win the lottery once and people thought he is a genius,he couldn't win it a second time so most likely it was pure luck that coincided with his thinking and algorithms at that time.In Poker you can win if you are good at math and focusing on counting every card rather than try to find other people thinking by reading their faces and expression,you have to be good at it,have a huge amount of patience like this Chris Ferguson guy and you can win,I would not be that much surprised,unfortunately very few people own such skills.

As for school when I graduated and got to my first job I found nothing from school was to be used there,so it is 100% theory the school just to give you some education.

Gambling world is like a school.

School teaches the basic but we face it hardly and our mind struggling to solve those equation given by our professor. But we must always remember the through journey is in the real world and luck is the best thing that we must have in order to pass the trials. Like in gambling worlds luck matters so if we are lucky enough then we will win a good amount of money. Also in poker game experience and knowledge is very important in order to win.
