And some people have not lost at all. As a lifelong poker player, the calculus is very much the same. A poker game where rake is taken out is a negative-sum game. But that doesn't mean that every player loses, even if they play forever. There will be more net losses than net wins, but these are not evenly distributed.
- oblio 5y agoThat's a pyramid scheme and/or gambling. You're relying on many marks to lose money to make money. There's a reason we regulate or ban that.
- user-the-name 5y agoYeah, that's gambler thinking. In reality, you're going to lose money.
