The Philosophy of Gambling
Discussed with 硬漢 in the last 2 days about gambling. He said the purpose of gambling is to win money. I don't agree. Winning money is not the sole purpose of gambling. We all know the gambling is an unfair game. Most forms of gambling are in favour of the banker (except blackjack and mahjong). So, you would lose money in the long run.
To me, the main purpose of gambling is to seek excitement. Or put it the other way, I enjoy the process more than the result. The same as I enjoy flirting.
