Would it be ridiculous for someone who won a literal (rather than metaphorical) lottery to call lotteries a con? Because they are, whether you win one or not.

- staunch 15y agoNo. Lotteries are not cons either. In the US the rules are published on every ticket and are upheld. Not that I buy the comparison to lotteries. I'd say startups are much closer to poker. Some people have no chance at making a living playing poker -- other people could almost certainly do it if they tried. I bet Bill Gates could have been a very good professional poker player.
