What are your thoughts?
Depends. If the goal you set yourself is realistic, you won't have any problems. However, if you go to the casino with $100 and you expect to walk out with $100,000 because you think it's the only solution to your miserable life, it's easier when you lose the $100 to take out another $100, or $1,000 or borrow it or whatever.
Gambling with such a massive expected return amount to taking a very high risk which the end result would definitely not end well, staking $100 to win $100,000 would involve taking a very high risk, personally I place bet on soccer matches with an expected odd of 2.00 thus betting with $100 would return $200 or a bit more, consistent winning definitely pay some bills of course I don't have any mindset of accumulating odds up to 100.0 in a bid to earn and win massive reward definitely the chances of winning that bet is very slim thus losing that $100 which could have gave me $200 with lesser risk.
