MICHALECOLE 02/12/23 5:17:17 PM #35:	Anteaterking posted... I know, I know, gambling doesn't have to be rational, but I don't understand big bets with low payoffs. Like looking at today's game, they have a safety happening as -2000 for "no" ,which would be your friend betting $13500 to win $675. I just feel emotionally like I'd rather be on the "bet $675 to win $13500" end of things. Well, I know for him he kinda looks at it like he looks at stocks. If you put 13,500$ into a stock, and a year later have made 800$, thats not terrible. The difference is after you lose 1000$ on the stock you can punt it, but on the gamble you get that instant gratification of winning or losing <cite>MICHALECOLE posted [p:971519827] in If Mahomes...
