  Don’t forget the government bailout when their gamble fails.

    Only applies if you won enough already.

      Get enough of the country on your payroll and you can just claim it’s bad for the economy if you go under.

  Except if you have enough money, it's not even gambling anymore. The only way you'd lose is if everybody loses.

  And that's completely ignoring the fact that enough money lets you influence the rules of the game to tilt the odds in your favour.

    Once you have enough money you can make even more by betting against others’ success.

    And if you’re only slightly rich (as in, daddy’s a lawyer) you can afford to gamble, lose, and then try again.

  If you’re rich you can afford to gamble, lose and try again.

  If you’re poor, you can gamble, win, and then have to spend your winnings helping out your family and community. Like, paying for the operation your uncle needs but couldn’t afford, or helping mom’s friend from church avoid losing her home.

  This is a reason that a lot of poor-person owned businesses don’t grow. They may start strong, but then the business owner has trouble continuing to invest.

    Not unless you do it outside a golden palace that abstracts your money into vouchers and chips.

    But generally wealthy people make more gambles in business, partnership, accountability, other people's lives and social welfare, and the general stability of the world.

    Like say becoming an arms dealer then paying the cost of a F-150 economy package to a couple senators and having them spend their endless war chests with no audits or oversight on some missiles to kill some goat farmers or something.

    Or creating a pesticide with the upside of remaining active in soil for 4 or 5 centuries (and recycling in the human liver for up to a year after exposure) and having it produced in an impoverished southern town and then exported to French Polynesia so they can continue to grow cloned banana trees.

    Or like taking doctors on nice yacht lunches and golf trips and telling yes you really have developed a non addictive opioid.

    Was any of your ancestors a particularly successful mass murderer in the middle ages and/or a recent civil war?

    • Wogi@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I mean, depending on your definition of mass murderer, you can safely say yes.

    Are you gambling with your money or other people's?

  • worldsayshi@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    The serious answer is that you need to play positive sum games.

    source

    • Enkers@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I disagree. The serious answer is you have to be the one person that gets lucky.

      Take 1024 people each with 1000. They all play roulette and go all in every round, half on black half on red. After 10 rounds, 1023 people have lost all their money, and one has won a million dollars.

      The person who “made it” didn’t do anything different, or play a +EV game. He just got lucky.

    I recommend Humanity as a modern strange take on it.

    store.steampowered.com/app/1581480/Humanity/

    (Is available on PS+ Extra as well)

    Also reminded me of Timekeepers, which is another old Amiga game which I suspect nobody here will remember.

    Fuuuck that takes me back to the dos days. They dont make games like they used to (in pure assembly I mean)

  Image is actually cut off. What’s missing is below each person there’s a swimming pool. For poor people it’s filled with water, for successful it’s filled with money.
