There isn’t always a better alternative. Almost always, yes, but not absolutely always. Admittedly we’re deep into edge cases here. The only one I can think of is that you have $1,000 today, and need $100,000 by tomorrow. Maybe someone is holding your cat to ransom, and you really love that cat. No one is going to loan you a hundred grand to give to catnappers, so you go to the casino hoping for some really good luck as you put everything on black. Good luck, Mittens.
