<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 26513288, member: 4626&quot;]And yet you still don&#039;t have it, so what does it matter that you could have?&nbsp; If I bought a lottery ticket and lost, it doesn&#039;t make the purchase price of the ticket a smart investment.&nbsp; And these things cost a lot more money than lottery tickets.&nbsp; If you paid $100 and got a $50 coin, the net result is no different than if you paid $50 and got nothing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m reminded of an author&#039;s saying that &quot;gambling isn&#039;t fun; <i>winning</i> is fun.&quot;&nbsp; The joy of winning doesn&#039;t make up for the pain of losing for me when it costs me money to play.&nbsp; Besides anything I own gives me more of a sense of pride that all of it is earned, and not something I have just because I got lucky.</p><p><br /></p><p>Closest I&#039;ll get to &quot;gambling&quot; is roll hunting, because even at worst I&#039;ll at least break even.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end it&#039;s your money; do what you like.&nbsp; I&#039;m not saying you and people that enjoy this are having &quot;wrong fun&quot; or anything.&nbsp; But it&#039;s never something I&#039;ll enjoy or understand.&nbsp; There&#039;s cheaper ways to have fun.&nbsp; I work hard for my money, only have so much of it I can afford to spend on luxuries, and I want to get every penny&#039;s worth when I buy something.&nbsp; Saving up for something I want is satisfying; spending money just for a chance to get something just isn&#039;t.&nbsp; Something I&#039;ve earned will always be more satisfying to own for me than anything I got from luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
