I have spent a lot of time and hive trying to understand blackjack or playing dice in hive slot games. I lost far more than I won. But I still find these games very exciting. I know that too much gambling like any other addiction can be bad and even ruin lifes. With that beeing said I think that if done in moderation gamling is fun and harmless. I think of blackjack in a similar way I think about a difficult puzzle. I think that understanding how it works and finally solving it is interesting and thrilling. After all this time I still have not conquered this challenge. But it seems like I made some progress and now understand and recognize some situations in blackjack. But more than dice or blackjack I think that life itself is a big risk gamble. Every decision we make and every step we make is bigger or smaller gamble. Buying a car or a house. Buying crypto, becoming an artist or a blogger. Asking a girl out on date. Believing or not believing in gods... Everywhere around us are a risky situations in which we hope to achieve a positive outcome. In other words life itself is a gamble we just don't think about it this way. I not only enjoy gambling but to watch other people struggle as well. I like watching anime and gambling animes One Outs and Kaiji are among my favorites. I really enjoy watching people play mind games on each other. And these two animes are true gems of mind playing. I highly recommend them both. So while I recognize that people can lose families and savings while gambling at the same time it can be fun, challenging and thrilling. But in the end I think that life itself is a gamble so it is not possible to escape from gambling whatever I like to gamble or not. So I might as well try to enjoy it while it last and see what is in the cards for me...
