People would rather Gamble knowing that they will lose their money for sure over time than to invest in the market where they know they would profit for sure.
Why?
Because they want instant gratification.
Wishing to make big rewards for making small bets.

Living in Vegas for the last 13 years, I've always chased the big score, but since the stock market and I met, I've had ZERO interest in gambling. The market has settled me down.
I hate when gamblers try to tell me that I'm gambling by being a day trader. You can gamble with trading however the way Ive learned isn't a gamble. It's a calculated risk/reward with a strategy behind it.
