Re: Stupidly Gambling For Millions Is Admirable?

[ QUOTE ]
It seems like a lot of people think it is admirable, or romantic or exciting to risk millions of dollars on gambling games with little or no edge.
[/ QUOTE ]it's more like fascination combined with disbelief combined with jealousy.
I don't understand how it's not exciting to see people gamble for high stakes. Imagine a scenario where you make $50,000 a year, so money means a lot to you. Then imagine a scenario where you see people flip a coin for $100,000 and within 2 seconds, someone just won 2 years salary. How is that not fun?

Zeebo, it seems you don't understand. To many, many people in the world, gambling for that amount of money is soulless and sickening. (Not me, of course, I love gambling, but I know how the other half sees it, too).
