<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1481112, member: 23626&quot;]Although the question was directed at the OP, I am going to answer. Gambling or gaming is done in many various forms. Some buy stocks or PMs, some purchase real estate and leverage the equity. I admit that I have attempted to do all of the above and have lost great amounts of money in each of them at one time or another. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s absolutely awful to buy gold at $700 an ounce and need to sell it at $325, or to buy 10,000 shares of a stock at $40 only to see it fall to $15 in a year. Or to find that the property valued at $400,000 cannot be given away for free and taxes still need to be paid.</p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly, my greatest return on an investment has come from legal sports bets. But as with everything else, you do your homework, research, take the wisest option and hope for the best ! Although, I shun horse racing (19% vigorish), Craps (1.47%) Blackjack (2.3%) and Slots (15%) for entertainment only. Sports betting, one can allow the Casino book to take their fees. You only need to beat the spread 52.4% of the time to break even. When you manage to have a 60% season record or better, you can afford hobbies like numismatics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Life is fraught with danger, and we all &quot;gamble&quot;. And when people gamble, someone will lose. We&#039;ve seen how an entire nation can lose by banks gambling with their depositor&#039;s money. But to assume the OP will lose is a defeatist attitude. There are those who do profit. But don&#039;t think it&#039;s easy. To succeed at anything generally requires a lot of effort. Even Rock Stars constantly rehearse. There are professional gamblers, just as there are people who make a living at medicine, or education, construction, on and on. The OP may have bought these coins for speculation too, and it was time to sell. Not everyone loses.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just sayin&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p>Gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
