Ah with gambling the business model is very different. You just need to be fishing for whales. Somebody can't be a 1000x or even 100x customer on Uber compared to the median. Somebody can easily be a 1000x gambler
Doesn't Uber offer helicopter rides? I'd imagine those people are 100x customers.
I remember playing a lot of very boring optimal blackjack to break even on money and pick up the deposit bonus. Usually you had to do something like play the total amount of the bonus once before you could withdraw it
That coupled with the crazy cashback deals that were on offer from referral sites..

I cleared double that, but doubt it would work these days.
