No, it can change your life, it's a small investment that can potentially turn you very rich...

Yes it's dumb. You're better off doing sports betting cos then at least you have some input. And u have a higher chance of winning cos the prize is less

Less reward tho, sports betting requires knowledge and luck. Even then, rigged events are nothing new. Ideal scenario is knowing who’s gonna win what stock will plummet and rise etc. Insider trading is everything, become friends with the right people and you’ll become very rich. Unfortunately a lot of that is capped by luck, family born into and genes u have.

It can pay off. One in a billion chance to win though.
