A comment on The World of Sports Betting in a World Without Sports. Parent comment
Gambling means someone has to lose.
It is not a job. It is not a way to earn money. It is a way to take money from others.
The majority of people have to lose, otherwise it wouldn't work for the few people trying to get all theothers to 'play with them'.
And yes i think poker is one of the 'fairest' 'games' but the same issue applies.
Imagine everyone winning in poker. Go figger
