Gambling is a (serious) game, where you're totally supposed to eat you neighbour to get on top. Politics works on a heavily skewed sample of power-hungry people. Politicians are nothing like their people. Most are among the top 1%, which is a weird bunch: they are visible, powerful, don't have the same incentives, and don't live under the same social pressures as the rest of us.
