For people who does not have enough income to live a comfortable life, we try to find ways to end the struggle, we take big risk to gain big rewards so if we will be successful, we don't need to work anymore and just enjoy the rest of our life doing the things that we can't do due to lack of money.
This mindset won't make a person successful. If people want to have a comfortable life, come on work for it and don't rely purely on luck. Taking risks is fine but if it's not worth it, then stop. Yes, we have seen people became rich because of doing gambling by either hitting the jackpot or something along those lines but not all will have the same experience.
The worst-case scenario here is, once they hit a big jackpot on gambling, they will surely come back again hoping for another jackpot experience and we will know what will happen next.
Just imagined those rich people, they do have lots of money and several assets and investments but still working hard to ensure that once they retired and not capable to work, they will live a comfortable life.
Achieving financial goals in gambling is a big NO for me. If we win big by doing gambling, then it's a bonus.
