Topic: Why does the outcome makes it different. - page 2. (Read 139 times)
No one talks about the bad side, but everyone praises the positive side. This is unfortunately the sad reality of today’s generation. The FedEx owner’s luck was really good that day, for which he was able to make 5 times the money. But this also leaves a bad impression on others, and they might follow this path to get instant returns of the money in a short amount of time. People need to understand that gambling is all about luck, so don’t get influenced by these types of stories. Gamble carefully, as it is your hard-earned money that is on stake.
1. Why is it that society don't criticise people that took such risk and made profit but will be so quick to criticise those that took same action under similar conditions and made loss?
2. Isn't it the same stupidity or it that the outcome justifies a difference?
He is very lucky to win such amount of money with the only money he had on him. The reason he won't be criticised for the step he took is because he made success. But as for me I don't think I'll advice or support anyone to take such risk, luck like this in gambling by using the only money one has to gamble are rare. I know it would have been so bad for him if he had lose in the game but a good outcome for him. 2. Isn't it the same stupidity or it that the outcome justifies a difference?
Maybe he already made up his mind to take the risk, if at all he didn't play the game there will be no way to do anything about his business and to still play and lose will end the business closed down, he just had to take the risk and he made it at last.
It's not only in gambling, but it happen in everything.
People like to criticize unsuccessful people, but will praise you when you're successful. Let's say you want to start your journey as a content creator, you have created videos everyday and you only get 1K followers in 3 years. People will criticize you and say you're failed, better to start your career in engineer.
But, once you make it, you get 1 Million followers in the fourth years and get many endorsement from popular brands, they will say "I'm your best friend, I'm proud of you, teach me how to do that" etc.

This case, which is often commented on, is more of an anecdote. He had only $5K and playing BlackJack he got a total of $27K. But the most important thing is that when he reached that amount he stopped playing and went to his company. The difference is not very significant, if he didn't make that money he could have gotten a loan elsewhere or maybe sold some small part of the company to get it.
In general, going to the casino when your company has financial problems is a very bad idea, the opposite of what the news wants to convey.

As we can see from the image, this guy took the last $5,000 belonging to the company to gamble and was fortunate to make a profit of $22000 plus his capital totalizing $27,000. With his actions, he is now glorified to have saved his company from an impending collapse.
Now lets look at this in the opposite. What do you think may have been the fate of this very man today if he had lossed. Not sure anyone would have commend his action especially from where (gamble, of all places) he chose to go sort out money from, under such critical moment.
Most times we don't get criticized because of using money that wasn't meant for gambling to engage in gamble but when we lost that money to gamble.
