Here’s the question: if you had a budget of $1 a day just for gambling, where would you put it? Would you go for a lottery game with a potential $1 million win, or a high-odds sports betting parlay where you could win $100,000? Which one would you pick?
It’s easy to get tempted by the idea of winning a million dollars with just $1, but realistically, the odds are stacked against us. Sports betting might offer slightly better chances than the lottery, but since it’s still gambling, $1 isn’t going to get you far. No matter what we choose, without luck, that dollar can vanish in an instant, so we might as well think of it as throwing our money away.
Anyway, if this is all we're willing to spend each day, then perhaps it's worth it to have a little fun, even if it's only just take for a few minutes.
