Professionals don't gamble with their own money. They gamble with other people's money, and keep a percentage if they win.

"Common people" are entering the game without the most important piece of equipment they need, namely a pile of money that doesn't come out of their own pocket if they lose.

Thanks to fees, professionals can also keep a portion if they loose. If they under-perform, they also win as long as their clients aren't calling them on it.
