Message: [QUOTE="fletchdad, post: 2405727, member: 65205"] *sigh* You miss the point entirely. But I can explain it in terms even a child should understand.......... A fact you probably dont know is the ratio of pro musicians who make it and the ones who dont. Although the numbers are not exactly the same, it is a reasonable comparison to poker pros. Many try, few make it. The same way in the music biz. But if you read the adverts of guitars, private music schools, singing teachers etc: it fits the comment you made: "online poker companies overrate the game by doing massive marketing to attract innocent young players to believe they can make a living from it". ANY INDUSTRY THAT CAN EXPLOIT THE "ADVANTAGES" IN ADVERTISING TO NAIVE CUSTOMERS TO PROMOTE SALES, WILL DO JUST THAT. So who needs to wake up here? My comparison was just to point out that, in any biz like music, poker, etc.... where you dont have a 9 to 5 and all that, there is a large element of risk, and no one is "entitled" to make it. Most dont. So your advice is to just realize we are all destined to lose.......... wow. There are obvious differences as well, but, I guess I wont explain more, since you seem to enjoy "knowing" and making somewhat insulting replies to people who dont agree with you. As well as totally missing the point of my post. As far as problem gamblers and rehab, well, have you ever heard of alcohol? Some people can handle it, some cant. A problem gambler is not the fault of the game. Really. "Wake up" comes to mind..... Addiction exists. You were the one who used the word rigged. And that pretty much says it all. [/QUOTE]
