GAMBLING IS A BUSINESS. IT PROFITS ITS OWNER, NOT THE CUSTOMER.

Gambling is a billion-dollar industry built on the tears of losers. It is NOT designed to help you achieve financial security. It is not designed to help you at all. It is a business that sells very expensive entertainment. 

The games are designed to benefit the Owners. Every time you play, THEY win. Every cent you wager improves their lives. Your money goes into their pockets so that they can live luxuriously while you suffer, beg and borrow. 

Your money allows them to buy mansions, luxury cars and designer clothes. They use your savings to vacation in exotic locations and to drape themselves in diamonds, while you figure out how to stretch a dollar until your next pay day. 

You depend on luck, hope and wishes while they operate on certainty. As long as you keep showing up, they can be certain that their bills will be paid.

You spend hours every day playing their games and competing with the other gamblers for CRUMBS. Meanwhile, the Owners are out living full lives. They are eating the juicy steak and drinking the champagne that you paid for.

Every business exists to MAKE / EARN money. They either sell you a product or provide a service. The price they charge the customer covers production costs, employee wages and includes a profit for the Owners.

The Gambling Industry, like every other business, exists to earn money, not to give it away. The Owners of casinos and gaming stations are selling you entertainment in order to make their profit. They’re selling an experience ... a good time. There is no fixed cost attached. You can pay as much as you want, whenever you want.

This entertainment that they’re selling, provides a small opportunity for you to win back some of the money you spent. You convinced yourself that you could come out on top and take an endless supply of money from them. You forgot your place as a Customer who is actually purchasing the entertainment that they’re selling.

The house is designed to win. The odds are rigged in their favor. The Gambling Industry continues to exist because business is good. They are making BILLIONS of dollars in profits because there are more people losing than there are winning.

Game designers are loyal to the companies that hire them. They go to work every day and program games with YOU in mind. Their goal is to keep you invested in the game. They don’t want to take all of your money at once. They program the games to feed you crumbs, so that you continue to play. You hold on to these small wins without realizing that you are losing more in the long run.

Games are programmed to have frequent near-misses, where you fall just a little bit short of a jackpot. These near-misses toy with your brain. Game designers know that near-misses are highly motivating and increase your commitment to the game. They know that it is hard for you to walk away when you believe that the win will come on the next round.

Games are often designed where you can make multiple types of wagers at the same time. Some betting options may be simple but will have a lower payout, while some are riskier and offer greater rewards. Game designers know that the average person is risk averse and will spread out their money to cover safer options as well as those which have higher payouts.

The result is that a player can win on some lines while losing on others. The winnings will often be less than the original wager. When you win,
