Gambling

Of course not, I don't have so much money that I'd enjoy losing it. If you do, and if you just gamble for fun, feel free to do so. On the other hand, gambling to make money is just stupid - do the maths yourself. You will most likely lose more than you win. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you're the one lucky person in a million or so.

Simply put, if you're enticed by the possibility of making money by gambling and believe you can, then you don't understand statistics. Odds are always in favor of the casino.
Exactly. Don't fool yourself into thinking there's some kind of system behind it ("luck", "winning streak", "it's time for black now after three successive reds", whatever.
The only way to actually make money with gambling is running a casino :P

I concur. Of course you can lose a lot of money there as well, but at least it isn't totally random.
