[LordKano]

I think that you're misunderstanding the motives of some players.

I fully concede that some people play because they think they're going to win. They had a dream or some charlatan has convinced them that this is their lucky day to play. That kind of thinking is not rational.

People like me, exchange money for entertainment. It's no different than paying to see a movie or to listen to a streaming music service.

It's entertainment, not investment and it's not irrational.
