The reason why i abandoned gambling is because I was focusing on profit and not really focusing on the fun of it. Seriously, it is very difficult for one to make it in gambling if emotions control your investments. Now from this thread I now know I am wrong.
Everything in life is a gamble more or less.
Staying with FIAT, hodling crypto, trading, choosing a college, buying a laptop, marrying a woman... The difference between those is, you can do your research and minimize the chance of losing the game while you cannot do it on a dice game.
You can even minimize your chances of losing by betting on sport games. I know it because I've seen people who successfully pulled that shit.
What matters is, we all play the game (and we should, because that makes sense) we understand the best.
Bankers know how to fuck regular people over by selling them the shit they actually don't need. ( the product I am talking about here is usually overpriced mortgages)
Lawyers know how to rip you off because they know the game you have no idea about.
Politicians know how to talk and lie and deceive others and they make a living out of that.
Some people are gifted with math, they understand how things work better than others and they can be great traders or programmers or hackers...
If you don't understand the game you are playing, you definitely shouldn't wager too much.
TLDR; don't get marry unless you really know what you are doing.
