This would be my explanation. (Poker Player)This has always been a mystery. Why pay to be a sucker? Is being a dupe fun? If you want to take financial risk, take an accounting class and invest in legitimate companies. Over a lifetime, anyone competent should clear 7 figures in profit. That is a lot more fun than hoping to beat the odds in order to win peanuts. Please explain the appeal. If you like Vegas buy casino stocks.
This week I spent $300 for game tickets and had fun (but was tortured) why would anyone do that to themselves? Could have watched on TV free. We do it for the thrill.
spent $300 at Spago and had a nice time (but as nice as that was, still feels like a rip off). Who would spend $300 on food I could buy for $20? We do it for the experience and to make the wife happy.
if I lost $300 at the poker table but had fun, no sweat, to me, its all entertainment.
If you are addicted and cant stop playing and losing, you have a totally different problem, but that’s a different discussion.
I generally do not like to play games against the house. In poker you’re playing other players and you could take money from the tourists. Harder to take money from the house..
No accounting class needed to invest.
