Calculated risks can potentially lead to big wins, but the odds are always stacked in favor of the house.  Imagine someone meticulously planning their bets, only to be foiled by a stroke of bad luck.

The question of who should take more risk – the rich or the poor – is a complex one.  You're right – a rich gambler can absorb losses more easily than someone struggling financially.  However, focusing solely on financial standing misses a crucial point.

The core issue is the mindset of chasing riches through gambling.  This desperation, particularly among the less fortunate, fuels risky behavior and potential financial ruin.
