Fun Gambling Facts:

  • Did you know that 99% of gamblers quit before they win it big?

  • You can win up to 2000% of your money, but can only lose 100%

  • The odds are always in your favor, as you are the protagonist

  • If you ever get close to winning on one round, that means the next round you will win

  • The less money your wallet, the bigger your chances of winning are

The third one is wrong, the odds are never in your favour because they're always 50/50 (you either win or you lose)

The protagonist always wins in the end. That's a universal law.

But that would mean that I'm either not the protagonist, or... I NEED TO BUY A LOTTERY TICKET RIGHT NOW

Wouldnt it be less than 50% since the gambling machine owner makes profit

Maybe they just have a gambling machine because it's fun and they don't care about profits :3

this reminds me of a post i saw last night on wallstreetbets of a doctoral student 100k in debt that ended up being down 60k trading after initially making 44k. like man why are you gambling money you don't have, especially an amount that most people don't even make in a year

edit: source for the shitshow
