    Why doesn't anyone here take shots when gambling?

    Makes no sense to me.

    Bet $50 and a good week you win $400

    Bad week you lose $50 per game then pay $400 or chase to break even or lose a ton

    Why not step in and say ok I am taking this $200 5 different times for an all in 10 times over the course of 5 years and if it hits I go to vegas professionally with over $100k

    well said JJ.

    it's no fun being out of the game.

    Many gamblers have good self awareness.

    people that are not risk takers usually do not have the top level success in anything in life

    We are all not risk takers
