I gambled on my first wife, too. (AKA '
only' wife despite being asked at least five times before and since ..)
I just counted the 40th anniversary of Cindy's 21st B'day on 4-3-2020 and her untimely demise (4-3-1980) due to myocardial infarction while in a major hospital's emergency room. ("Orderlies" weren't required to know CPR then, .. even janitors are nowadays.
)
"Some of us" are destined to 'win the lottery'
only once in life. "Some of us" may be able to enjoy that 'win' for more than 2 years. (myself just barely)
That said, IMO two 'worst things' to imagine are that anyone would assume that they will ever win at gambling, but also that they they
couldn't win more than once. :confused2:
:laughing:
btw, I blame autism for my reliance on "mathematical odds", where reality leads to my penchant for limiting my 'gambling' to ~$30-40/year on a 1/11,000,000 state Lotto vs 1/171,000,000 on 'Big Game" with a 2x ticket price. (to make it 32:1 for dollar) I may not be so bright, but I'm rarely 'down' more than ~$40/year, and doing way better on Wall Street since the '80s.
Not to say a 'Long game' is better, but a "long game" may be more stable within one's lifetime. YMMV
