That's the way it is, I think he uses probabilities, and the worst thing is that he's not someone who's going to play it, I know that he uses a lot of some abilities that he has, I thought he was just lucky, one of the things he told me is that he Sometimes he assumed that such a player had such a game, and that made him very eager to play a bet or to do something like assuming such a thing, however what strikes me is that the knowledge is such that it assures me that when He always plays, he wins something, if he doesn't come first, he comes in at least 3rd place, he tells me that now there aren't as many games as before, poker tournaments, and that's something that has made him stop playing games of chance a lot.
There are poker sites, or other gambling sites with poker tables, where tournaments are going non-stop, several of them at the same time in some places. Stopping playing games of chance is one thing, but poker is not a game of chance according to many gamblers, and I agree with them mainly. Your friend has those skills that are reuired for playing poker successfully, and I think he stopped maybe because he wanted a break, not because he couldn't find a site with active poker tournaments.
And probably also it's the same with any other risky activity that can potentially give you a big reward. Those are the tricks our mind plays with us. The thing is that our brain has not changed since tens of thousands of years ago, and this behaviour, always taking the risk to potentially get something big, was the right one for our survival for many thousand of years because there were no slot machines, no crypto trading, and we, humans, rarely had this opportunity to get a fortune of a lifetime within one day.
Casinos should probably hire scientists to study human behavior concerning risks and dopamine release.
I don't know about casinos, but the results of such study would be interesting to see for millions of people on YouTube. That's what I'm sure of.
