These people are mostly gambling on the wrong things. You have better odds gambling on stocks, bonds, and currencies than going to a casino. Sure, both are rigged to some extent, but you have more control over your losses trading what I just mentioned.
@@henrythegreatamerican8136Yep but trading requires a certain IQ to understand how it works, a lot or gamblers are too lazy or stupid to understand something different from "🍒 🍒 🍒 = 💲"

I'm SICK of getting sports betting ads when... 1: I don't watch sports. 2: I don't gamble. I have told YT to stop showing me ads from them because they're IRRELEVANT, but they never stop coming.
I mean cigarettes are horrible for you and it’s also addicting but if we made things illegal just because it’s bad for you, then we’d start becoming like China
There was an older lady at my church who won 30 grand at a local casino. She spent probably around 80k at that same casino throughout the entirety of her life…
I'm also glad I love math, specifically probability and statistics. Gambling has never appealed to me. I went to a casino once on my 21st birthday. I pulled out $60 with the expectation of losing it all. I lost my first $20 on a machine within 10 minutes, so I just kept my money and went to have a good meal instead. Shit is stupid
It doesn't take a statistics class to know this, just a little bit of critical thinking and toning down one's emotions. Although maybe statstics class should be mandated and you have to pass a test to vote. The amount of stastical fallacies and misunderstanding of basic concepts by the masses is insane. Like the inability to distinguish rate of change and change.
I loved Statistics class and crunching numbers, reviewing algorithms, and the consequences of people who gamble not knowing the odds. It's incredible. Paper money, cash, is a tangible item. The reason the casinos turn cash into chips is because it is much easier emotionally to place a chip on a felt table than a $20 bill. Imagine if you had to place cold, hard cash on the felt of a poker, blackjack, or baccarat table? People would probably think a lot more seeing that $20 bill disappear vs. a chip that denotes $20.
speaking as someone from a country where this kind of betting has always been legal, there is no limit to how badly it can go. I've worked a bunch of manual labour jobs and in every single one, I knew multiple guys that would, every month without fail, as soon as they got paid, put just about every penny of it into bets on upcoming matches and spend the rest of the month worrying about how they would pay their bills if the bets didn't go their way
What country is this? In high school I worked at a grocery store, my 60 year old colleague would buy lottery tickets everyday. Felt kinda sad seeing that
@@Nathan-jh1hoLowkey these kinda people annoy me when i’m in line at the gas station just trying to buy an energy drink before work 😂 they take their time getting those tickets man
Every time i see Asmon talking about gambling i remeber about the grandma gambler's joke: The grandma and the bet: An grandma went to deposit a very large amount of money at the bank: - I came to deposit a very large amount, so I want to speak to the president of the bank. said the old lady. After much insistence, the bank teller went to call the president. The president, curious, asked: - how much is the amount? - 145 thousand. The old woman said -Where did you get this money?Asked the president. -I make bets. said the old lady. -Then make a bet with me! said the president. -Then I bet your balls are square. Said the old woman. -It's a bet, but how much is the amount? asked the president. -100 thousand! exclaimed the old woman -it's a bet, said the president. -tomorrow I'll be here at 10am. in the morning with my lawyer testifying the case. said the old woman. After many tests to make sure that his balls weren't square, the president went to the meeting. At the meeting, the old lady went with her lawyer and said: - now let me touch your balls to make sure they are round . said the old woman. The president lowered his pants and said: -you can touch it. The old woman touched the president's balls and the president asked: -why is your lawyer banging his head against the wall? -I bet 1,000,000 that today at 10am. In the morning I would be touching the balls of the president of the bank.
It’s not gambling online, asmon should be jailed for calling scam online playsites as casinos. THEYR live games are rigged with magnets andngreenscreens . Don’t play
Unfortunately a lot of good people also aren't the smartest of people and the very poorest people are just desperate for a hope of getting out of poverty.
Reminds me of how alcohol is advertised. they always sorta just whisper “drink responsibly” right after essentially telling you drinking will make you happier than you’ve ever been.
39:59 Talks about how everyone thinks they're special and they'll win, then says he'd win if he bet, because he has the "right mindset" LMFAO that was comedy gold
There’s a difference between games and just betting on something, though. Asmon plays poker with some other streamers, to a degree he can influence the outcome - that’s why there’s professional poker players, because there’s skill that influences the luck. Betting that a player will do something in a game within a certain time? Idiotic, because that’s pure luck. You can’t influence it at all.
My approach to gambling is I go in with a certain amount of money (let's say $100) hoping to lose it, and when I win (let's say $1,000) the moment I lose even $10 I pull out. Until this day I've only gone home broke once.
My father bet our only car. Woke up one day and it was gone. When I asked him where he parked the car, he replied with "I lost the car." It was surreal.
At least drugs can make you feel good or be more productive temporarily. You’re actually buying a product that has value. Gambling literally does nothing there’s 0 value.
@@pricklycatsss yeah it's the most idiotic addiction, i genuinely loose all respect and trust when i hear someone had or has a gambling addiction, you can give a junkie money and tell them to hold on to that and i will give you twice the amount, a gambler would just run straight to the casino and lose every penny
Sports betting and recreational Marijuana were both legalized around the same time in NYS. Gambling blew up instantly, while some legit business opportunities had to wait YEARS in order to get their license for a dispensary.
also their terms and conditions can let them withhold winnings if you violated it in any way, like if you had a bonus deposit and played the wrong type of slot or table game...

Worked in casino advertising department before, the truth is, sports bedding is actually the least favored method in casino. So what you see is just the tip of iceberg.
You can't make a living by being an alcoholic but you can as a gambler. Why do you think the same people usually end up at the final tables in the worlds hardest poker tournaments?
I just find it crazy how people can watch these guys lose millions of dollars on stream and then think "Let me go spend my own money, I can do better" That's just fucking insane to me.
I've been clean from gambling for 22 years. I'm 29 now. When I was a kid, my aunte taught my sibling and I a great lesson in gambling. She took up to an arcade and gave us each a dollar to use on the machines and at the end of the dollar, we were all desperately asking her to let us use our own money to keep going but she simply refused to let us. I won't forget the feelings of that experience and know it's too easy to get addicted. Smart lady.
That's even broader than gambling, since it's more about chasing a dopamine rush (or if it was a place where you would get tickets after performing well it would be pretty accurate)
@markmitchell153 his example is actually spot on because he's kind of elaborating on the mechanics that goes on in the brain and gambling will exploit those same mechanics.
@@doorknocker8920 it literally isnt. Literally nothing about it is gambling. They wanted to do something and were told no. That isnt saying no to gambling at the arcade. it's her teaching them self control. If they had a chance to win any money or items it would be gambling but it isnt...
My aunt has a bad habit. I took her gambling once, I decided to play $40 at $2 a spin and ended up hitting $470. I immediately cashed out and took my little ass outside and waited in the car. She can spend HUNDREDS and leave with no money but call it a win when she said “well I won this this this time” no you LOST. You ended the night with no cash. She had to audacity to text me for more money that money I WON. I’m usually broke so I just said no. She got so mad at me. Smh. You can gamble but know when to stop. They aren’t in business still because people aren’t addicted
The only person i ever met who was good at betting was my old landlord, about 80 years old. He's only bet on football games, but he was realistic, I guess. He convinced me to put 50$ down one time, and i won 800$. He says you got to know everyone involved to be able to predict a sports event. I know I'll never make a vet like that again unless i know someone like him is making the picks.
I was about 18/19 years old and went into a bar that had Pokies in Sydney with my sister and her husband. An Asian man in a very smart suit walked in, fed $1000 (10x $100 green notes) into a machine of Virtual Horseracing. Then he put another $1000. Then another. Then another. Then another. Lost every time. And he turned around and walked right on out of there. To this day, I don't know if he was just absolutely loaded and fancied his chances, or if it was money laundering. But from that day I realised gambling was a shady af business. Not for me.
I know that in australia you can use the slot machines to launder a shit ton of money. Just put your thousands of dolars in the machine, do a 2 dolar pull and cash out. Clean money with no taxes to pay for it
Nah, asians just gamble like that. There's a card house where I used to live, in San Diego, and I would watch these guys throw down racks on Pai Gow! Just like the guy you mentioned, they would bet $1k per hand and they'd have $10k on them, sometimes more. Now, I've seen some guys lose big but I've also seen guys run it up thousands of dollars. One of my really good friends growing up is a professional poker player who lives in Las Vegas and he's been doing that for 20 years now. He also plays pool for money.
my "brainrot" is going crazy, I watched the full 30 minute video when Drew uploaded it and now I spend another 1h 20 min to watch Asmon watching that 30 minute video again but he is basically saying the same things I thought anyways during the first watch. 10/10, would watch again
outside of gambling that's the culture of "i never have enough money" the worst issue that keep people gambling even if they know they won't be on their side.
To combat mass gambling addiction, schools need to start teaching kids at very young age that they are NOT special, that most of them are losers that will never win anything. Kids need to get that thru their head so they don't get tempted by gambling
My great grand uncle used family money in poker and got into debt. My great grandfather paid it out and the uncle killed himself not long after. The fact I know this just goes to show the lasting impact this can have even generations later.
When I was a young man during my first trip to Vegas, a superior officer told me: Never forget, Vegas was not built on the backs of winners. I never forgot that piece of advice.
Bruh, the Addiction is Real! This isn’t just about people losing money; it’s about lives being destroyed. The thrill of gambling can quickly spiral into an uncontrollable addiction. You think you can control it? Think again. Studies show that online gambling can lead to higher rates of addiction compared to traditional gambling. Why? Because it’s always available, and the stakes feel lower when you’re just a click away.
I saw a mate have a relapse and destroy his life in like 8 hours as we basically tried to drag him from a casino and he wouldn't. Guy blew it bigtime, spent all the money that was saved for paying off his house, lost his new wife and house and all. Lucky he's still about, tbh.
My brother had a few hundred thousand saved up for his retirement; gambled it all away on online poker. Died that year penniless and left us gambling debts to settle.
People don't seem to understand; addiction is a physical thing that gets wired into someone's head. You can't just unwire it, it takes a lot of effort and help to unlearn this kind of behavior. Due to the nature of our brains, anyone can be a victim of addiction. No one is immune to bad habits or addictions, all it takes is for something to happen at the right time and the right place. Especially since our modern world is doing everything it can to manipulate our brains reward centers.
Thank god I don't like to gamble at all, maybe only on roguelikes. I'm addicted to a few stuff, nicotine and coffee for example, but damn, the few times I gambled I though "This fucking sucks"
I got a coworker who is like 24 or 25 and he recently started sports betting. He comes in every other day saying he lost. He always says he’s done. The next day he wins 60$ back and the following day says he lost 250$ and he’s done again 😂 I explained how they are stringing you along, he knows it but does it anyways.
When it comes to grown adults, I see gambling as Darwinian theory in action. The problem is that all of these gambling streams and sponsors are mostly viewed by children who are extremely impressionable, with undeveloped brains that are vulnerable to manipulation and addiction. There's absolutely no doubt that all of these streamers have indirectly ruined young people's lives just to make money.
Only sigmas like me have held on to the matching bonsus’s from sites I joined 10 years ago. Problem is I have no motivation to bet much or withdraw my money. You win big betting, you win.
yeah its disgusting what stake and trainwrecks is doing with kick. luring in the fresh candle of W andies to brainwash :/ It was sad to see X did the same with his juicers
There are other people who are so stuffed the hope is destructive, these people also need protecting, if all bottom 10% didn’t show up to work the next day due to the outcome of gambling the world would stop :(
It's not just online gambling. I work at a gas station in midwest America. The addition of these machines put into just a gas station. Pain the ass gamblers with many 'addictions' constantly blow their money on this shit. Let's just say 80% of them scratch themselves as much as the push the buttons. Dig in their cars for change to bring back dirt covered, or worse for dollar bills for another 'roll'.
Not just in the Midwest it's everywhere in Central PA as well. They're marketed as 'Skill Games' here and they're in every gas station/convenience store.
I worked at a gas station 15 years ago and remember a guy in dirty work clothes came in on a Friday and kept coming in and then going out to his truck after buying a couple of $20 scratch offs. After an hour or so he didn’t come back in and just sat there sobbing in his truck. Just got paid and blew his last 2 weeks of hard work to scratch some tickets. I knew then what a poison gambling was and would never do it.
My father worked for Bally (a Las Vegas game company) I knew everything worth knowing about gambling when I was 7 years old. It's really sad that this isn't taught in school.
You know those people that hold up the line at a gas station doing scratch offs and you look down upon them? Online gambling is that times 1000 with worse odds, without the shame. This is bad.
Yea, gambling is the only hope working class have to be free from wage slavery. The days of working hard to have a good life died 50 years ago. It is a full capitalism dog eat dog world now!
I think people have enough understanding of statistics, they assume that because they've lost, they have a statistically higher probability of winning if they bet again. This is false, every bet is it's own seperate probability, but it's a misunderstanding of the factual statement, "it would be improbable to lose a bunch of times in a row".
This is very evident in the game Baccarat, where the odds are basically 50/50. People will keep betting the opposite and double every bet, until they get a streak of 10 of the same hand and lose all of their bank roll.
@@MrSatch3 If you can in our current economy and I think because we have it so bad most people are so desperate that they see only a way out with betting on their luck. I however believe it would be much smarter to put all that money you would spend on gambling aside and save it, because we do live in hard times.
@@capacchino I know is a joke but let's say what you said is true, I would still claim they have won for 2 simple reasons. 1. How many times did you invest your money in gambling before you have won. You think it ain't much, one week I spend 10 bucks, the next one 20, maybe 3rd week 15... But calculate all of your expenses you had before you won these 2K all these months and weeks and even years of not winning anything. 2nd reason: Let's say every citizen bets 20 bucks a week, some less some even more and let's say 20 million bet every week, is actually even more but let's say 20 million, that would be 400 million every single week they earn, sport bets, lottery tickets whatnot, so yeah... They are the true winners not us.
Stuff like gambling / drugs tend to cycle in societies. These kinds of things are not to force people to be "good," implying the other thing is "evil." It's about saving the 1 out of 100 people that lose their life to it. The cycle: (1) That stuff is fun. Why is it even outlawed? -> (2) A tiny percent of people ruin their lives to it. People see close friends/family suffer from it. Plus, society ends up having to pay a bill if they end up using social safety nets. -> (3) It gets outlawed. -> Go back to (1). The behaviors themselves are often completely neutral morally speaking and actually fun. They become associated with evil, because some of the tiny few that go too far eventually do evil stuff to fund their habit. Taking "loans" from family, freeloading, and even doing crime. So it's more like a reputation based on statistics, not the act itself being bad. Some might even modify the argument, saying they want people to work hard to power the nation as well as possible (rather than saying they JUST do not want people to stop working / drain society). The "do the best" rather than "don't do the worst" logic can be used to outlaw A LOT. Most people are fine with people not ruining their lives.
I get what you are saying but that would completely cripple the way the internet makes money. Everything would probably go into some forced subscription to use it. I do think ads should be held to a much higher standard than they currently are though. Like the borderline porn/gambling mobile game ads. Pharmacy drug ads and alcohol ads too. I don't recall seeing much for nicotine ads lately so maybe those have been kept in check more.
I got invited to go gambling with some friends in college 10 years ago. I told myself I will bring 50 dollars and once it's gone it's gone. I played some slot machine and ended up getting over $7000 after being there for like 10 minutes. Of course my friends said I should keep going since I was "lucky" at that moment. I laughed and I've never gambled again since then. On a side note, those Avatar the Last Airbender posters are awesome.
That's too bad. You won too big. Any jackpot over $1200 on a slot machine is an automatic W-2G tax form. There used to be a video poker machine that everyone played day and night where the jackpot was $1000. It was the perfect game for degenerate gamblers.
Every country that overturned the ban on advertising gambling, is seeing a huge increase in young adults with debts, mental problems connected to betting and financial status, and calls to gambling help hotlines. Wow, wonder why that is!
Gambling should be treated in a similar way to tobacco, in that it can’t be advertised or sponsored and the medium by which you consume it, would need warning labels like, the actual statistics of wining and how much each person on average loses.
Doesn’t work like that cause of differnt betting amounts. Most gamblers already know the odds for the games they play. It’s really up to law makers to create something where people have to prove a certain amount of income in order to gamble a certain amount of money. Basically forcefully create budgets for people. It’s the only way to stop it but that will never happen.
a newspaper in switzerland wrote about why french speaking people in switzerland play way more lucky games and gamble things. they answered that hard work does not getting you rich. in the swissgerman speaking part the idea of working hard is getting yourself rich is way more popular and gambling is way lower.
Online gambling has always been big. The issue now compared to years ago is the amount of the streamers who has transitioned to it bringing their young impressionable audience to it. Scum.
Half of our commercials are online betting companies or experimental drugs that could cure that minor inconvenience with a possible side effect of death.
The drug companies commercials aren’t to convince people that the drug is beneficial. It’s to leverage media. They spend the most in advertising so that if anyone wants to shit talk about them in the media they can say “we’ll pull our ad revenue.” Then everyone shuts the hell up.
I'm a RUclips Mobile user. My ads are sportsbetting, online casinos, gacha/gamba games, scam games, general scams (govt subsudies), drugs, and 10% of the time legit products. During election season 50%+ are political ads.
Boys, Listen up, they taught me in Game Design School that the house always wins. Every single game involving odds is designed to bring profit. Stay away from gambling.
Before giving advice online, ask yourself: when was the last time a youtube comment made you change your life habits? Then you'll realize how pointless it is

"Not gambling with money in your hands, and it is all theoretical" Is so true, when i goto IRL casinos and have $500 in my hands and lose it, it hurts, it hurts alot. When i lose $500 online, a number on a screen, it somehow for me is much less painful. The same goes for winnings, if i do win IRL and they count out to me $2000 into my hand, that is exhilarating and seems to have much more value somehow then if my online balance goes up by $2000. And if i win online, there is a much greater chance i just continue to gamble with my winnings than in IRL.
It's not about math or understanding statistics, it's about addiction, here in china everyone gambles in one way or another, kids with their mobile game lootboxes, adults with government regulated sports betting, old people with mahjong, literally everyone I know gambles, sports betting shop on every street corner, underground mahjong parlor in every community. It's a national pastime in china.
@lysenthe after each round you count the winner point with a scoring system, based on how you win you get multipliers for the set amount of money for each point agreed at the begining of the game, then you multiply the points you won, losers payup. people lose their entire life saving in hours.
Im a gambler since 18. Im 27 now. Gambling has been an up and down journey for me. 500$ turning into 1000-14,000$ ive done a lot of things most gamblers dream of for 50+years. That being said it got it's grip on me and i lost control. Basically losing all my hard earned money. Im not complaining just trying to share my struggle for anyone who is in the same boat. i played 400$ on draftkings in 2021 They gave me 10,000$ and not a single jackpot since. I am fighting back these days. If i get the urge i spend 2 50$ bills and thats it. Or i tell my self the casino and its games will always be there for a special time. It doesnt have to be everytime i think, see, or hear of gambling.
Online gambling is so bad in my country (indonesia) that the government regularly send text messages to people to remind them not to gamble. Even me, a broke college guy wasn't a gambler, and I got one. The reason is that in Southeast Asia, Cambodia is the online version of Vegas. They are the Vegas of Southeast Asian gambler. You have to take this with a grain of salt, but I even remember somewhere on the news they mention that 70 or something percent of Cambodia's GDP are coming from online gambling from their country. Anyway, back to my country's gambling problem. What makes Indonesia's gambling problem worse is that when most Americans gamble, they already prepare the money for it, and they know they'll lose it. In Indonesia, they people that gamble doesn't have money to begin with. They started gambling from low winnings. It's basically like a micro transaction that adds up over time. The fact that most of these online gambling in Indonesia are online slots didn't help either because once you got hooked, you can't just tap out. With blackjack or any other type of gambling, if you feel "that's it," you can cash out. You can't really just cash out on slots, can you?
I'm from Indonesia as well, you forgot to mention how the slot gambling are rigged from the start...they always tell you to register with your phone number and get free $50 bucks. They essentially let you gamble for free, and it were designed so you will always win the first $50 they gave you and turn it into $80-100... But after that it tend to goes downhill, and you will feel like the house has stolen your $80...therefore it make people more impulsive to win back the money they didnt win in the first place. This is inherently worst than sport betting, because sport betting actually allow you to win, digital slot machine is always 100% lose-lose situation.
Drew’s years-long pivot from “how dare you cut a bagel weird” to “incredibly insightful video journalism” is one of the funniest but also most impressive things I’ve ever seen.
If you’re gonna gamble you have to do it assuming you’re gonna lose everything. I don’t gamble much, maybe once a year I go to a casino but when I do I take out $200, when it’s gone, it’s gone, and if I go up $100 or more I walk away.
For those that don't know. The people who livestream the gambling site that they're sponsored by have an option to get paid (probably higher than otherwise) through the website credits. The thing is, they have to gamble away a certain amount (if not all) of that money. And then they can keep what's left. So if the Casino "pays" them 250k. And tells them they have to spend 250k on gambling on stream. Then that means that the streamer has to gamble 250k throughout the stream. So if they put a 5k bet and win 10k. Then they'll be at 255k, but they spent 5k of the 250k that they have to bet.
You must forget why they unbanned it. The mafia became a financial powerhouse through illegal gambling. Also, there *are* career gamblers who have been successful for decades and have made millions. The payout for 1st place in this years WSOP is going to be $10 million, but if you just make it to the final table you are guaranteed $1 mil. The entire prize pool is like $94 mil.
@@JohBenji Like the guy who owned 2 casinos is going to ban gambling. He's probably going to open up an online sports book on Truth Social if he were to see this.
I’m a recovering gambling addict. It’s so hard because the advertising is everywhere. I had to cut out all my friends and stop watching sports. It’s driving me into a deeper depression because all I can do is work and sleep.
Doing nothing but working, sleeping, and eating is still better than watching sports, hanging out with fellow gamblers, and losing all your money. Eventually you will enjoy a different activity than watching sports, like actually working out at the gym, playing sports, enjoying a massage, hiking ect. The world belongs to you when you quit gambling. Your world belongs to the casino if you continue gambling.
245 billion on sports, where you can have some intuition and have a chance. Think about that number for unregulated offshore gambling websites with slots that can be coded by the developers to take everything, while being promoted by the most famous people in the world. Gotta be in the trillions.
On one hand you can easily be right. On the other though... On the other legalizing anything is normalizing it. Betting on sports is legitimate activity of respectable person while going to sketchy east asian websites to gamble with this weird crypto thingamajig is only something a weirdo will do. And normies, perpetraitors of gambling addiction, are all about being "normal".
I used to work at a bar with machines. I'd watch people pump thousands into them and win nothing. Then someone that tipped well would come in and I'd say "Hey number 4 has had 1500 put into it without hitting, just an obersvation." They'd spend a hundred and win 800. I guess the moral of my story is, make friends with workers at machine places if you are a gambler. 😂😂
I don't gamble much, once a year I go with some family to one of the massive casinos in CT. I bring out $100 and thats it, I expect to lose it and I do every time but its no worse than going out for a movie or whatever. Last time I went a couple years ago I ran my $100 into a slot machine and got nothing, an old lady sat down right after I left and hit the escalator on the first spin, won $280k.
On slot machine apps, if you make small bets on a game you've never played, you'll hit bonuses pretty quickly, but once you burn through a decent amount of cash a couple times, you're done, your cookie is flagged as a degenerate.

I worked in a betting shop for 2 years. People addicted to gambling are there for the win. They are addicted to the last moments before they know if they won or lost. That is the feeling they come back to.
Good on you. I gambled on my first cruise ship at 18. Lost all my spending money the first night and I never want to feel that feeling again. Haven't since!
As someone who worked on predictive sport models I can tell you that average Joe isn´t going to win. Back in time (2015) MLB models were making 15% ROI per season but over the years it turned to -5% ROI a year. Because their models are now much more accurate than mine. But if you are good at math and statistics and data then there is a still way to make money. Like new e-sports where odds are not as accurate so there is an edge. But golden times when betting was silly easy when using basic arithmetic and betting just by looking at the odds and becoming a millionaire over time these times are long long gone.
The bookmakers pushed their percentages from 5% out to 10-15% Juice in Australian racing we face the same perils. The old TOTE use to pay 117% Market percentage now its up to 135% and the Fixed odds are starting at 150-160% and climb into 120% Gambling is just dumb now days
the other crazy thing is, somehow they get around state laws with this. its illegal here to operate a casino unless its native land. but somehow apps and online can operate within the state? who did they bribe to get that passed?
Asmon watched video on legality of online gambling. You would be hard pressed to find it though, that's like a year ago. Basicaly, it's not legaly gambling because they sometimes give freebies on those websites. That's it, easy as that.
I have a gambling problem, i tend to stay away from it, as i have spend a huge amount of sports bets without even watching bets. Last time i got tempted was in GTA (hilarious i know) then i decided to gamble on the Tyson match, then i realised where i am heading so i had to stop. It's a slippery slope
Same. I liked a Gatcha game because of the story, but I noticed my spending habits to get units were getting out of hand, and I realised I had a problem so I stopped.
I also have a gambling problem and to keep me from gambling I download fake slot machines on my phone and watch RUclips videos of people gambling it's corny haha
"the ability of a human to perceive it's own existence(metacognition), has evolved at a rate that is much higher than our ability to cope with that awareness." That might be the most profound thing Asmon has ever said
It’s not narcissism, it’s ego centric behavior. It’s main character syndrome, lol as us gamers like to call it. Narcissistic personality has to do with insecurities and trying to mask them with grandiose behavior and not understanding how others feel about your actions. Now egocentrism is thinking the world revolves around you. Everyone are NPCs in your story. By the way kids grow out of this at about 7 or 8 years old, let that sink in. 😅
I never understood why people gamble. The house always wins, they even TELL you that. If you go to a casino you can LOOK at the roulette wheel and see with your own eyes that there is less than a 50 percent chance to win. One of the numbers is a house win. It is a mathematical certainty that the more you gamble the more you will lose.
@@estherbravo4926They don't need to always win, just need to win 51% of the time and let everyone else pull the levers and roll the dice as many times as possible.
It can be ok if people look at it as entertainment with a clear budget that you expect to lose going in. I don’t see that it is any worse to spend 200 gambling vs 200 to go to da club for a night vs going to a concert or sporting event, etc. people just need self control. What I found hard when I did it was knowing when to quit while ahead. I found I needed an amount that if I hit, I would quit for the day. One of The reasons the house wins aside from basic math is that most gamblers aren’t satisfied until they lose. So the house wins either way.
@@estherbravo4926 Noted. The house always wins over time, I should have said.. Statistically if you gamble a lot you WILL experience a loss overall. If you gamble only a bit, then win, then do not gamble again, you might come out at an overall profit.
This online gambling issue may feel new in the U.S., but in other countries, casinos - especially small slot machine casinos, been part of the slow, silent death of smaller, once-family-friendly cities.
I lived in vegas for YEARS... I've won ALOT and i've lost even more. Unless youre a PROFESSIONAL gambler (that counts cards, super mathmaticians, etc) you're guaranteed to lose. I used to go in and expect to lose x amount if my friends wanted to gamble. I'd quit after i lost x amount. Just like Drugs, Food, Social Media, etc everything is fine in MODERATION.
Counting cards these days is basically impossible since they use shuffler machines to shuffle the used cards right back into the 6-8 decks being used in a blackjack game. Plus they are constantly watching you. How much you are winning, how much you are losing etc. If you win too much the pit boss will do everything in his power to stop you. They can restrict your access to play certain games for example. They can honestly even just kick you out if you are winning too much. Therefore, this "I am smarter than the house" fantasy works really only in movies. Remember that! (former dealer)
in indonesia about 2 year ago the betting phenomena began to surface into the public because one of the chief of police got arrested over a murder case of one of his police officer that coincidentally the chief is treasurer of gambling in indonesia .before this scandal the betting phenomena its very clearly on the public and people wondering how these clearly bets advertisement didnt got investigate and 2 years later we all know why.
more like a pretty good indication of how the governmental body sees the taxpayers... a highly addictive activity in which they can spend their money after the taxes? their money gets pooled in astronomical numbers at an insane rapid pace ? Jesus Prez., that means a whole lotta Benjamins to be taxed at a high %. Some countries make it legal just for the tourist to gamble or banned gambling alltogheter. Well, I think gambling should require a permit which gives you an ID card with limits and restrictions according to a financial assessment, the service to be facilitated by the gambling parlors with the help of an extra tax on their profits. Makes jobs, protects vulnerable people and it's still a sustainable,... well highly profitable actually, business.
@6:30 he is coughing, claims its the soda. its the air quality of the room. you need an air purifier or to open the windows and get fresh air in the room. there isnt enough air flow for that much time spent in it, and that many electronics running (the static they create from the fans causes dust particles to form into larger sizes, and then get in your lungs)

Considering how much the US government likes to regulate every part of Americans lives, it’s very surprising that there’s a complete lack of regulation on Gambling ads. In the UK our government literally forces Gambling companies to pay for gambling addiction treatment services
The ones that are good at gambling. Like sports betting, black jack and the like aren’t allowed to gamble. I used to live in Vegas. I knew of guys that had to have people go in to place bets because their action was called off. Same with card counters. The casinos will deny your play for that game. I’m sure it happens with online casinos too. There is a guy on RUclips that wears disguises to get into casinos to gamble. He’s too good for them.
Asmon's take is pretty bang on. Main character syndrome is a major driver of gambling. "Others lose, but I'm special". I never thought of that as a form of narcissism, but it makes perfect sense.
That's not it. Those types of people usually end up losing fast and big because they chase their losses and then can't afford to come back to gamble. Your average gamblers are just killing time or socializing with others at the slots or card tables. Some casinos even give free food and drinks to players. I was a poker dealer for 10 years and I'd see the same people all the time. They come in with a set amount to gamble with and if they lose, they go home. But they can be there for hours. One hour they are winning, the next they are down, but then they cash in big right before they leave, but while they are there they also get food and drinks. They always play at the same games and the usually know everyone else at the table. It's like their version of Cheers "where everybody knows your name." Though it is true that there are a lot of losers, there are also a lot of people who break even, but enjoy their time spent doing something they love. And there are some who make lifelong careers doing it, and even some who have become millionaires through more skill than luck. There's a reason that you don't see too many newcomers at the final tables of the worlds most prestigious poker tournaments like the WSOP.
"About 10 Million people in the US struggle with gambling in some way..."

the thing is she's gonna tell everybody the big win but the 100.000 cuts she won't even mention.
I'm also glad I love math, specifically probability and statistics. Gambling has never appealed to me.
I went to a casino once on my 21st birthday. I pulled out $60 with the expectation of losing it all. I lost my first $20 on a machine within 10 minutes, so I just kept my money and went to have a good meal instead.
Shit is stupid
It doesn't take a statistics class to know this, just a little bit of critical thinking and toning down one's emotions.
Although maybe statstics class should be mandated and you have to pass a test to vote. The amount of stastical fallacies and misunderstanding of basic concepts by the masses is insane. Like the inability to distinguish rate of change and change.
I loved Statistics class and crunching numbers, reviewing algorithms, and the consequences of people who gamble not knowing the odds. It's incredible.
Paper money, cash, is a tangible item. The reason the casinos turn cash into chips is because it is much easier emotionally to place a chip on a felt table than a $20 bill. Imagine if you had to place cold, hard cash on the felt of a poker, blackjack, or baccarat table? People would probably think a lot more seeing that $20 bill disappear vs. a chip that denotes $20.

speaking as someone from a country where this kind of betting has always been legal, there is no limit to how badly it can go. I've worked a bunch of manual labour jobs and in every single one, I knew multiple guys that would, every month without fail, as soon as they got paid, put just about every penny of it into bets on upcoming matches and spend the rest of the month worrying about how they would pay their bills if the bets didn't go their way

Every time i see Asmon talking about gambling i remeber about the grandma gambler's joke:
The grandma and the bet:
An grandma went to deposit a very large amount of money at the bank:
- I came to deposit a very large amount, so I want to speak to the president of the bank. said the old lady. After much insistence, the bank teller went to call the president. The president, curious, asked:
- how much is the amount?
- 145 thousand. The old woman said
-Where did you get this money?Asked the president.
-I make bets. said the old lady.
-Then make a bet with me! said the president.
-Then I bet your balls are square. Said the old woman.
-It's a bet, but how much is the amount? asked the president.
-100 thousand! exclaimed the old woman
-it's a bet, said the president.
-tomorrow I'll be here at 10am. in the morning with my lawyer testifying the case. said the old woman.
After many tests to make sure that his balls weren't square, the president went to the meeting. At the meeting, the old lady went with her lawyer and said:
- now let me touch your balls to make sure they are round . said the old woman.
The president lowered his pants and said:
-you can touch it.
The old woman touched the president's balls and the president asked:
-why is your lawyer banging his head against the wall?
-I bet 1,000,000 that today at 10am. In the morning I would be touching the balls of the president of the bank.

Gambling is a tax on poor people and on stupid people. When you have a rise of both, you'll have a rise in gambling.
It’s not gambling online, asmon should be jailed for calling scam online playsites as casinos. THEYR live games are rigged with magnets andngreenscreens . Don’t play

Poor people who gamble are poor 99% becuase of their financial decisions.

There’s a difference between games and just betting on something, though. Asmon plays poker with some other streamers, to a degree he can influence the outcome - that’s why there’s professional poker players, because there’s skill that influences the luck.
Betting that a player will do something in a game within a certain time? Idiotic, because that’s pure luck. You can’t influence it at all.
I started watching him when he was going hard against the game loot betting problems
That's why he said "everyone". 😂
My approach to gambling is I go in with a certain amount of money (let's say $100) hoping to lose it, and when I win (let's say $1,000) the moment I lose even $10 I pull out. Until this day I've only gone home broke once.
99% of gamblers quit before they win big. 100% of gamblers lose all the money they make from winning big

Scariest addiction over drugs because it’s self imprisonment from the mind, rather than any external substance.
At least drugs can make you feel good or be more productive temporarily. You’re actually buying a product that has value. Gambling literally does nothing there’s 0 value.

Best part of gambling sites is that if you are a winning gambler they will recognize it and ban you or limit your betting size.

When I was a kid, my aunte taught my sibling and I a great lesson in gambling. She took up to an arcade and gave us each a dollar to use on the machines and at the end of the dollar, we were all desperately asking her to let us use our own money to keep going but she simply refused to let us. I won't forget the feelings of that experience and know it's too easy to get addicted. Smart lady.
Arcades were the bomb, your aunte was the shit! although. got to give some credit to yourself. most people would not get the lesson.
That's even broader than gambling, since it's more about chasing a dopamine rush (or if it was a place where you would get tickets after performing well it would be pretty accurate)

The only person i ever met who was good at betting was my old landlord, about 80 years old. He's only bet on football games, but he was realistic, I guess. He convinced me to put 50$ down one time, and i won 800$. He says you got to know everyone involved to be able to predict a sports event. I know I'll never make a vet like that again unless i know someone like him is making the picks.
I was about 18/19 years old and went into a bar that had Pokies in Sydney with my sister and her husband. An Asian man in a very smart suit walked in, fed $1000 (10x $100 green notes) into a machine of Virtual Horseracing. Then he put another $1000. Then another. Then another. Then another. Lost every time. And he turned around and walked right on out of there.
To this day, I don't know if he was just absolutely loaded and fancied his chances, or if it was money laundering. But from that day I realised gambling was a shady af business. Not for me.
I know that in australia you can use the slot machines to launder a shit ton of money. Just put your thousands of dolars in the machine, do a 2 dolar pull and cash out. Clean money with no taxes to pay for it

Bruh, the Addiction is Real! This isn’t just about people losing money; it’s about lives being destroyed. The thrill of gambling can quickly spiral into an uncontrollable addiction. You think you can control it? Think again. Studies show that online gambling can lead to higher rates of addiction compared to traditional gambling. Why? Because it’s always available, and the stakes feel lower when you’re just a click away.
There is literally no upside to allowing legalized gambling, except to the parasites leeching money from people who can't afford to lose it.
I saw a mate have a relapse and destroy his life in like 8 hours as we basically tried to drag him from a casino and he wouldn't. Guy blew it bigtime, spent all the money that was saved for paying off his house, lost his new wife and house and all. Lucky he's still about, tbh.
My brother had a few hundred thousand saved up for his retirement; gambled it all away on online poker.
Died that year penniless and left us gambling debts to settle.
People don't seem to understand; addiction is a physical thing that gets wired into someone's head. You can't just unwire it, it takes a lot of effort and help to unlearn this kind of behavior. Due to the nature of our brains, anyone can be a victim of addiction. No one is immune to bad habits or addictions, all it takes is for something to happen at the right time and the right place. Especially since our modern world is doing everything it can to manipulate our brains reward centers.

Your turn down a lot of money depending on the stipulations. You turn it down because of selling your soul. An ideal that is foreign to most people.
When it comes to grown adults, I see gambling as Darwinian theory in action. The problem is that all of these gambling streams and sponsors are mostly viewed by children who are extremely impressionable, with undeveloped brains that are vulnerable to manipulation and addiction.
There's absolutely no doubt that all of these streamers have indirectly ruined young people's lives just to make money.
Only sigmas like me have held on to the matching bonsus’s from sites I joined 10 years ago. Problem is I have no motivation to bet much or withdraw my money. You win big betting, you win.

It's not just online gambling. I work at a gas station in midwest America. The addition of these machines put into just a gas station.

This is false, every bet is it's own seperate probability, but it's a misunderstanding of the factual statement, "it would be improbable to lose a bunch of times in a row".
These companies hire mathematicians to make their modells. How do people thinks they can game this?
This is very evident in the game Baccarat, where the odds are basically 50/50. People will keep betting the opposite and double every bet, until they get a streak of 10 of the same hand and lose all of their bank roll.
When gambling there is only one winner and SPOILER: is not you.
Never gamble, work and save money
Tell that to my $2k win on a $5 parlay....jokes guys im not that lucky
@@MrSatch3 If you can in our current economy and I think because we have it so bad most people are so desperate that they see only a way out with betting on their luck. I however believe it would be much smarter to put all that money you would spend on gambling aside and save it, because we do live in hard times.
You can win over the house, I've done it. The problem is that the house will ban you as soon as you start consistently winning
@@capacchino I know is a joke but let's say what you said is true, I would still claim they have won for 2 simple reasons.
1. How many times did you invest your money in gambling before you have won. You think it ain't much, one week I spend 10 bucks, the next one 20, maybe 3rd week 15... But calculate all of your expenses you had before you won these 2K all these months and weeks and even years of not winning anything.
2nd reason: Let's say every citizen bets 20 bucks a week, some less some even more and let's say 20 million bet every week, is actually even more but let's say 20 million, that would be 400 million every single week they earn, sport bets, lottery tickets whatnot, so yeah... They are the true winners not us.
Stuff like gambling / drugs tend to cycle in societies. These kinds of things are not to force people to be "good," implying the other thing is "evil." It's about saving the 1 out of 100 people that lose their life to it. The cycle:
(1) That stuff is fun. Why is it even outlawed? -> (2) A tiny percent of people ruin their lives to it. People see close friends/family suffer from it. Plus, society ends up having to pay a bill if they end up using social safety nets. -> (3) It gets outlawed. -> Go back to (1).
The behaviors themselves are often completely neutral morally speaking and actually fun. They become associated with evil, because some of the tiny few that go too far eventually do evil stuff to fund their habit. Taking "loans" from family, freeloading, and even doing crime. So it's more like a reputation based on statistics, not the act itself being bad. Some might even modify the argument, saying they want people to work hard to power the nation as well as possible (rather than saying they JUST do not want people to stop working / drain society). The "do the best" rather than "don't do the worst" logic can be used to outlaw A LOT. Most people are fine with people not ruining their lives.

I get what you are saying but that would completely cripple the way the internet makes money. Everything would probably go into some forced subscription to use it. I do think ads should be held to a much higher standard than they currently are though. Like the borderline porn/gambling mobile game ads. Pharmacy drug ads and alcohol ads too. I don't recall seeing much for nicotine ads lately so maybe those have been kept in check more.

I got invited to go gambling with some friends in college 10 years ago. I told myself I will bring 50 dollars and once it's gone it's gone. I played some slot machine and ended up getting over $7000 after being there for like 10 minutes. Of course my friends said I should keep going since I was "lucky" at that moment. I laughed and I've never gambled again since then.
On a side note, those Avatar the Last Airbender posters are awesome.
That's too bad. You won too big. Any jackpot over $1200 on a slot machine is an automatic W-2G tax form. There used to be a video poker machine that everyone played day and night where the jackpot was $1000. It was the perfect game for degenerate gamblers.

Wow, wonder why that is!
Definitely because of Video Games. 😂
they want the people in despair and addictions so they can run away with all the money and build a prison around you. Very simple.
what? can you link sources or at least name 1 or 2 countries?
Gambling should be treated in a similar way to tobacco, in that it can’t be advertised or sponsored and the medium by which you consume it, would need warning labels like, the actual statistics of wining and how much each person on average loses.
Doesn’t work like that cause of differnt betting amounts. Most gamblers already know the odds for the games they play. It’s really up to law makers to create something where people have to prove a certain amount of income in order to gamble a certain amount of money. Basically forcefully create budgets for people. It’s the only way to stop it but that will never happen.
a newspaper in switzerland wrote about why french speaking people in switzerland play way more lucky games and gamble things. they answered that hard work does not getting you rich.
in the swissgerman speaking part the idea of working hard is getting yourself rich is way more popular and gambling is way lower.
Online gambling has always been big. The issue now compared to years ago is the amount of the streamers who has transitioned to it bringing their young impressionable audience to it. Scum.
Half of our commercials are online betting companies or experimental drugs that could cure that minor inconvenience with a possible side effect of death.
Yea American culture is toxic
The pharmaceutical commercials are horrible and remind me of just how many people are addicted to pharmaceuticals in this country.
The drug companies commercials aren’t to convince people that the drug is beneficial. It’s to leverage media. They spend the most in advertising so that if anyone wants to shit talk about them in the media they can say “we’ll pull our ad revenue.” Then everyone shuts the hell up.

"Not gambling with money in your hands, and it is all theoretical" Is so true, when i goto IRL casinos and have $500 in my hands and lose it, it hurts, it hurts alot. When i lose $500 online, a number on a screen, it somehow for me is much less painful. The same goes for winnings, if i do win IRL and they count out to me $2000 into my hand, that is exhilarating and seems to have much more value somehow then if my online balance goes up by $2000. And if i win online, there is a much greater chance i just continue to gamble with my winnings than in IRL.
bro you're so close to winning, don't give up! and keep doing it online, the bets are higher if you believe in it!
It's not about math or understanding statistics, it's about addiction, here in china everyone gambles in one way or another, kids with their mobile game lootboxes, adults with government regulated sports betting, old people with mahjong, literally everyone I know gambles, sports betting shop on every street corner, underground mahjong parlor in every community.

Im a gambler since 18. Im 27 now. Gambling has been an up and down journey for me. 500$ turning into 1000-14,000$ ive done a lot of things most gamblers dream of for 50+years. That being said it got it's grip on me and i lost control. Basically losing all my hard earned money. Im not complaining just trying to share my struggle for anyone who is in the same boat.
i played 400$ on draftkings in 2021 They gave me 10,000$ and not a single jackpot since.
I am fighting back these days. If i get the urge i spend 2 50$ bills and thats it. Or i tell my self the casino and its games will always be there for a special time. It doesnt have to be everytime i think, see, or hear of gambling.
Online gambling is so bad in my country (indonesia) that the government regularly send text messages to people to remind them not to gamble. Even me, a broke college guy wasn't a gambler, and I got one. The reason is that in Southeast Asia, Cambodia is the online version of Vegas. They are the Vegas of Southeast Asian gambler.
You have to take this with a grain of salt, but I even remember somewhere on the news they mention that 70 or something percent of Cambodia's GDP are coming from online gambling from their country.
Anyway, back to my country's gambling problem. What makes Indonesia's gambling problem worse is that when most Americans gamble, they already prepare the money for it, and they know they'll lose it. In Indonesia, they people that gamble doesn't have money to begin with. They started gambling from low winnings. It's basically like a micro transaction that adds up over time.
The fact that most of these online gambling in Indonesia are online slots didn't help either because once you got hooked, you can't just tap out. With blackjack or any other type of gambling, if you feel "that's it," you can cash out. You can't really just cash out on slots, can you?

@@AJ-zy9jf People have no will power for alot of things, that's why laws exists.......
@@madmantheepic7278 sounds like they need to work on themselves instead of relying on Government to tell them to stop gambling.
I'm from Indonesia as well, you forgot to mention how the slot gambling are rigged from the start...they always tell you to register with your phone number and get free $50 bucks. They essentially let you gamble for free, and it were designed so you will always win the first $50 they gave you and turn it into $80-100...
But after that it tend to goes downhill, and you will feel like the house has stolen your $80...therefore it make people more impulsive to win back the money they didnt win in the first place. This is inherently worst than sport betting, because sport betting actually allow you to win, digital slot machine is always 100% lose-lose situation.

If you’re gonna gamble you have to do it assuming you’re gonna lose everything. I don’t gamble much, maybe once a year I go to a casino but when I do I take out $200, when it’s gone, it’s gone, and if I go up $100 or more I walk away.
For those that don't know. The people who livestream the gambling site that they're sponsored by have an option to get paid (probably higher than otherwise) through the website credits. The thing is, they have to gamble away a certain amount (if not all) of that money. And then they can keep what's left. So if the Casino "pays" them 250k. And tells them they have to spend 250k on gambling on stream. Then that means that the streamer has to gamble 250k throughout the stream. So if they put a 5k bet and win 10k. Then they'll be at 255k, but they spent 5k of the 250k that they have to bet.
Sometimes you will come away a big winner if that’s the case. The site always wins. Not much to loose if you have that much value as a creator

I’m a recovering gambling addict. It’s so hard because the advertising is everywhere. I had to cut out all my friends and stop watching sports. It’s driving me into a deeper depression because all I can do is work and sleep.
Sorry to hear that man. I'm glad you're working on things. Good luck 💜
Doing nothing but working, sleeping, and eating is still better than watching sports, hanging out with fellow gamblers, and losing all your money. Eventually you will enjoy a different activity than watching sports, like actually working out at the gym, playing sports, enjoying a massage, hiking ect. The world belongs to you when you quit gambling. Your world belongs to the casino if you continue gambling.
245 billion on sports, where you can have some intuition and have a chance. Think about that number for unregulated offshore gambling websites with slots that can be coded by the developers to take everything, while being promoted by the most famous people in the world. Gotta be in the trillions.
On one hand you can easily be right. On the other though... On the other legalizing anything is normalizing it.

And normies, perpetraitors of gambling addiction, are all about being "normal".
I used to work at a bar with machines. I'd watch people pump thousands into them and win nothing. Then someone that tipped well would come in and I'd say "Hey number 4 has had 1500 put into it without hitting, just an obersvation." They'd spend a hundred and win 800.

As someone who worked on predictive sport models I can tell you that average Joe isn´t going to win. Back in time (2015) MLB models were making 15% ROI per season but over the years it turned to -5% ROI a year. Because their models are now much more accurate than mine. But if you are good at math and statistics and data then there is a still way to make money. Like new e-sports where odds are not as accurate so there is an edge. But golden times when betting was silly easy when using basic arithmetic and betting just by looking at the odds and becoming a millionaire over time these times are long long gone.
The bookmakers pushed their percentages from 5% out to 10-15% Juice in Australian racing we face the same perils. The old TOTE use to pay 117% Market percentage now its up to 135% and the Fixed odds are starting at 150-160% and climb into 120%

Counting cards these days is basically impossible since they use shuffler machines to shuffle the used cards right back into the 6-8 decks being used in a blackjack game. Plus they are constantly watching you. How much you are winning, how much you are losing etc. If you win too much the pit boss will do everything in his power to stop you. They can restrict your access to play certain games for example. They can honestly even just kick you out if you are winning too much. Therefore, this "I am smarter than the house" fantasy works really only in movies. Remember that! (former dealer)

Some countries make it legal just for the tourist to gamble or banned gambling alltogheter. Well, I think gambling should require a permit which gives you an ID card with limits and restrictions according to a financial assessment, the service to be facilitated by the gambling parlors with the help of an extra tax on their profits. Makes jobs, protects vulnerable people and it's still a sustainable,... well highly profitable actually, business.

Maybe true. However we saw him drink soda.

The ones that are good at gambling. Like sports betting, black jack and the like aren’t allowed to gamble. I used to live in Vegas. I knew of guys that had to have people go in to place bets because their action was called off. Same with card counters. The casinos will deny your play for that game. I’m sure it happens with online casinos too. There is a guy on RUclips that wears disguises to get into casinos to gamble. He’s too good for them.
I would only gamble with friends, that way even when you loses your friend wins not a gambling company
Asmon's take is pretty bang on. Main character syndrome is a major driver of gambling. "Others lose, but I'm special". I never thought of that as a form of narcissism, but it makes perfect sense.
That's not it. Those types of people usually end up losing fast and big because they chase their losses and then can't afford to come back to gamble. Your average gamblers are just killing time or socializing with others at the slots or card tables. Some casinos even give free food and drinks to players.
I was a poker dealer for 10 years and I'd see the same people all the time. They come in with a set amount to gamble with and if they lose, they go home. But they can be there for hours. One hour they are winning, the next they are down, but then they cash in big right before they leave, but while they are there they also get food and drinks. They always play at the same games and the usually know everyone else at the table. It's like their version of Cheers "where everybody knows your name."
Though it is true that there are a lot of losers, there are also a lot of people who break even, but enjoy their time spent doing something they love. And there are some who make lifelong careers doing it, and even some who have become millionaires through more skill than luck. There's a reason that you don't see too many newcomers at the final tables of the worlds most prestigious poker tournaments like the WSOP.
He went on to say 5 mins later "I never lose i have the right mindset" yeah thats how they all sounds 😂
