    I tried the online poker thing a little bit. With friends IRL it’s fun but online it’s boring. People work it like it’s their job.

    I tried an IRL casino once, won a bunch of money on the first machine and I was thinking I’m done, but had to wait for my friends so I kept doubling a small bet on black on roulette. It landed on red 9 times in a row. It’s all a scam

      The Martingale system is the definitive example of gambler’s fallacy. There’s definitely a “smart” way to gamble, but it generally requires games with a skill element, which casinos specifically avoid for this reason.
