Well sometimes it works out ok. :)

but actually I am not that interested in gambling, I am much more interested in making money.
I think people gamble for excitement and I have never done that,
it's not that exciting to me to lose money.
I like to figure out how I can have an advantage then make money with it.


When I was 18 my aunt took a bunch of us to a race track to bet on the horses, she gave everyone $50 at the end of the day there was 1 other person who had some money,
They got lucky and won the last race of the day and ended up with about $10 out of the $50 they started with.
Someone asked me if I lost all money too and I said of course not, I still had my $50 because I didn’t know which horse would win, and I couldn’t figure out any way that I would have any kind of advantage so I never bet on any of them.

Oh, I'm glad to hear that. I got nervous just watching this guy and I didn't know whether I hoped he would win or lose. If lost it was kind of sad, but if he won it might make others think to try this.
I never really got the draw of gambling. I feel so crappy when I lose, I don't want to do it again and can't imagine going back for more.

It looked like he was on a reality show of some kind, what most people don't realize is that she show probably pays him $150,000 or more to do the show, so if he lost his $125,000 (or what ever it was) he would still have made money. I would take that kind of gamble. :D
