    I knew a couple that did that, old hippies and math geniuses, they raised a kid and have a pretty nice house. It’s basically sticking to a formula that eeks you out a bit of profit over a long period. It seems worse than working a real job to me.

    • Any time I find myself in a casino it’s the only thing I do, I almost always win some money but I can’t imagine relying on something like that for actual income. I’ve heard many stories of people having mental breakdowns during extended cold streaks.

      Counterpoint for live poker specifically - it’s incredibly cathartic taking a whole bunch of money from an obnoxious trust fund kid.
