Well, there are still other things which we could really join on.
You could spend your money in a better manner in contests where the edge is way lower in comparison in order to boost your profits in the long-term.
In gamblers perspective saving money is not their main priority that's why some of them got sad for cannot able to join on the contest they want to participate on. Also even though the odds is low but for sure some of the gamblers are here to have fun with those tournaments offered here.
Yes we can spend it on more wiser decision but we have different outlook on this since maybe he could afford to lose some money just to have fun.
