the american dream
As someone who doesn’t gamble I’d love to know how much commenters here have thrown away to it.
When you choose not to gamble you gamble on not gambling being better than gambling.
Though it is a safe bet.
Everyone gambles at some point, whether they do it on purpose or because society forces them.
You gamble every time you leave the house that an idiot doesn’t drive you over. The chances are just pretty good sometimes, so most people are fooled into thinking they’re in control of their lives.
When have you ever really been in control?
That’s not what people mean by gambling man. We are talking about fun games on chance not “oh no will I have a heart attack today”
why isn’t he walking across surface and digging down is he stupid
This is usually about gambling. Assuming the diamonds cave even exists, how long would the tunnel need to be to quantify the average spend on lottery tickets or in a casino that yield the diamonds’ worth in winnings? I’m guessing about how much can be excavated with the diamonds’ value. Twice. With modern equipment.
Since those lottery systems are about making money for the ones organizing them. The chance of getting more money out of it than you put in is extremely small. And the bigger the jackpot, the slimmer the chance.
Because those lottery organizers are definitely not going to lose money on it.
With gambling you usually know exactly what your long term odds are: negative. The dream is to win bigger than you invested at some point and to cash out in the green. But the returns of winning the jackpot on your first ticket are much better than winning on your 1000th ticket, so it makes no sense to keep digging any deeper.
