IQ means nothing. Smartest guys I know are the laziest ones. Guys that end up amounting to something--or are the ones that everyone assumes must be intelligent, are the ones that typically have average intelligence, but have the work ethic and CHARACTER to handle things.
Maybe this is why you like gambling so much. Your intelligence has not helped and it's no easy ride. You're forced to work harder than you have, and when you do put together a nice run, it's probably more rewarding in more ways than you realize. This is a dangerous, slippery slope you're playing.
