I like to gamble and understand that the math is not on your side, but when you "win" 40+% of the time the mind plays tricks and you can quickly develop a MMO style addiction. However, with all the negative feedback I can dump 5$ on 180million to 1 odds and still have fun without getting that sort of feedback.

PS: As long as you recognize gamboling is about having a sadistic sort of fun and spend a tiny % of your income, you can get a lot of entertainment for your dollar.
