Gambling Tells Cultural Truths

So I like a bet.

They say gambling is 'a mugs game'. If that is true, why is gambling as old and as immortal a trade as prostitution.

Maybe it's more proof of humanity's inherent 'stupidity' / 'faith'..

Still, i understand it as a way to get a thrill. Also, betting shops are a place for socialising - it seems the best and most busy have pretty women working there.

They say, you always have the same odds, regardless of what happens and what game. Okay, that's just duality. Meaning its 1/1 and 36/1 and/or X/1 - simply because our time here is not infinite.

Anyways..

The secret truth of gambling is this:
If you don't lose out - You can only hope to raise your moneys by 25÷ or so. There's the chance of getting 1000x your stake, just don't bet on it happening often.

When you reach that 25÷ 'up'.. Leave. Don't bother trying to use schemes. Why? Long story short: losses are always there.

With this understanding, i bet for fun, taking opportunities to win big when i see them. I don't force it, that's illegal.

In London, I see 'blacks' in the bookies. About 70÷ of them are betting small to moderate amounts (<40 a day).. they usually leave happy because the betting shop didn't take 'too much' money from most of them.

The Arabs, Whites and Europeans, i see, like to gamble with hundreds and thousands - winning big but losing big more often. It seems that at least 70÷ of these gamblers end up 'way under'.

With this high stake + low endurance gambling attitude, i imagine how families are damaged more than with low stake gambling.

Attitudes towards gambling in these cultures are affected by this high stake high risk commonality.

Too many times will i sit beside a European or Arab with my little £12.30 fluctuating while he loses hundreds.

Once again, duality wins out.
