Gambling is best done when you can actually win something.

In this radio interview, best-selling author Tom Corley outlines a few of the differences between the habits of the rich and the poor:1. 70% of wealthy eat less than 300 junk food calories per day. 97% of poor people eat more than 300 junk food calories per day. 23% of wealthy gamble. 52% of poor people gamble.2. 80% of wealthy are focused on accomplishing some single goal.

Don't get me wrong; there are plenty of issues/problems/quirks that old houses have that new houses don't, and an old house can obviously have hidden problems and big repair/maintenance bills too (which is why you need a strong due diligence process)...but, the point is: a new house is not a foolproof solution to repairs/maintenance (and in some cases, a brand new house can be a much bigger gamble than an older house!).

I think it might be because of high gambling rate and other stuff.

I do not believe timing the market in Las Vegas is a strategy and is more of gamble (pun intended). 

Found a realtor and honestly took the biggest gamble of my life... ran with it and didn’t look back.

Anything else is gambling. 

Banks do not want people to borrow the money and gamble it away at a casino.

How about some good stories: won a bunch, lost a bunch, anything funny to help get me in the gambling mood?

hello all-been sitting on the sidelines reading this about 2 weeks now--i have probably been in the longest(8/05) and have just broken even before all this hit the fan-folks, i hate tosay it, but we've been beatim sure 90% of us are hard working folks just trying to feed our families and pay the mortgage--not really the "accredited" investor types--(which they were supposed to verify BEFORE accepting our money)the really wealthy wouldnt need to try and get 25% in 60days---we are the honest ones, who put our trust in people to try and get ahead--and now we rolled the dice and lost(so far)---what we did was NOT investing,,it was gambling---and now our hard earned money is not coming back to us---i GUARANTEE that anyone who says they were paid after the 25th (i was due the 26th) is not being forthright---and at this point, HONESTLY, are you really interested anymore in their new venture?
