Gambling From my experience is usually just a game where you can only lose eventually.

You feel great because you win then you gamble to win more and lose it all

One person might win but then everyone else goes home with nothing. Of course the person who won will go gamble again eventually.

The moral is: don’t bite off more than you can chew. I think...

But even then someone might go home €10 richer one day, what about all the days they gambled before finally winning €10?

Those machines too, they're clearly rigged to make a profit before paying out anything.

The machines are about as rigged as claw games. Winning percentage close to 0
