Not that wrong, if you go about it wisely then you will not play at all which means that you will not lose and that means you will not lose hope so you are more hopeful. All jokes aside I think people should not gamble for money reasons, that doesn't really make any sense, it doesn't really move that way, we should consider how to get bigger and better. This is why I think the best way to go forward with what we have, is just not to gamble for money and just gamble for fun and that way you will have better results.
If you gamble for money, and hope that one day you would get richer, then 99.99% of the gamblers will end up with a terrible result, you should try to avoid that as much as you can, and that is why it shouldn't be that simple.
Definitely, I can see why a person that does not understand the nature of gambling may think about it in this way, but if they actually took the time to think about it, they will realize that their goal is impossible, take a look at Las Vegas casinos, which are some of the most popular around the world, and notice the splendor and the luxury of those casinos, and now think about how could they possible afford to construct such huge casinos? And that is when the answer should become quite obvious, casinos that big can only be built with the money of the people that went there and lost everything, so thinking about beating the casinos is a waste of time.
