  Bogleheads are still playing.

    Bogleheads is maximizing potential economic gains from investing in the capital market while minimizing costs from the exposure attempt. The results from dollar cost averaging into VT or a target date fund for the next 30-50 years is likely superior to gambling on single named securities or options, for the unsophisticated.

      Right. But you're still putting your money at risk seeking reward - aka playing the game. Outside of FDIC insured cash accounts, the most anti-gambling way to play would be to buy nothing but TIPS. But even those have a (small) risk.
