I learned a very important lesson today

Yeah, I'm still considering LT Profit's theory.

I will roll a fair die. If I roll a 6, you lose. If I roll a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, you win.

Will I roll a 6?

NO -150

You won't take this bet because there is a chance I'll roll a 6, right?

I see what you're saying. I'm just saying I need to use more discipline, that's all.

gambling is stupid.

And I respect you for that.

If the lesson you learned was "there is no such thing as a lock or a sure thing, I should not bet way too much on a single event no matter how good it looks", you learned a great lesson.

If the lesson you learned is "I should never bet anything with more juice than -120, even if I have capped the game to have great value, because juice is scary", I think you are doing yourself a great disservice.

But, by all means, bet however you want; its your money!

I definitely learned that lesson, I'll have to think more about the juice issue. Thanks for your advice.
