It had to be said because farming always has been a 'gamble' for those whose 'win' is to be shared by the most people.

How lucky we are to be reminded of this. "Thank you for that!", Vaquwro! t o g

In my younger days when I had disposable income we went to Reno, Vegas, and local casinos a lot. When on a trip I always paid for the trip. Played blackjack and craps exclusively. Studied both games extensively and religiously practiced their basic strategy plus aggressive money management.

It can be done, there are folks who make their living gambling. It has to be more than a hobby to do that.

I sorta made money from gambling. FanDuel offered me 55:1 odds on a super bowl pick as a new subscriber. Minimum $10 sign up and $5 bet. I took my free $280 from them and never went back.

Gambling is stupid. The house always wins in the end.

I just googled my neighbor's son name.
He is in his early 30's, and to date, playing poker, (per google) he has won $776,906.
He is a VERY bright guy!

Actually I know a high school friend who became semi pro in poker as well. Thing about poker is, you only have to be smarter than the other people sitting at the table with you, not the odds of the house winning. blackjack, roulette, slots... all dumb. Poker maybe an exception, if you're savvy (I am not, lol).

I'd probably made a lot more than $776k by my early 30s just being a normal mechanical engineer though. Just for comparison.

This 30+ "kid" also owns 4 very successful startup companies.
One of which is a medical supplies mail order/internet business ......Directdermacare. com
Very lucrative!
He travels extensively to play poker, and to date has won the $776,906 just for fun.
His dad is a medical Dr. and a close friend of mine.
