      not if you gamble for long enough

      statistically the longer you gamble, the higher the chance that you’ll win and make your money back, it’s math bro

      Just got two Powerball tix for tonight, thanks! Since one ticket is 50%, two should basically guarantee I win!

      Gonna go kick my boss in the balls and walk out, should be fine, right? Probably.

    Don’t forget that you lose 3% to inflation every year, and even more when we are in hyper-inflation like we are now.

    Gambling in Wall Street’s Casino is, by design, the only way to have a chance not to lose money.

    Lottery and gambling are taxes on emotionally weak people who can’t do math.

    Sorry i’m the boring guy. It is (more than) 20 times more probable to lose 100% than to win 2000% in most gambling.

    There’s theoretically no upper limit of how much you can increase your money.

    I mean, at a certain point you’ll end up devaluating the currency to the point that the economy collapses, but that’s a later problem.
