That's actually not math.

You are using hundreds of words and high-minded bullshit rhetoric to be like, gambling is the best way to make money.

Yeah, man.

You know who I've heard this basic argument from?

My friends drunk in Las Vegas explaining what they're trying to play at the crap station.

No.

And here's why.

You want to hear my mathematical thinking on gambling, Jamie Loftus?

Because this will make more sense than anything that happens in the Sequoia article.

When I go to Las Vegas, I find me the penny slots where I can see the most waitresses walking around with those little trays that they have the drinks and stuff on.

Then I sit down at them and I don't start to play until one gets close to me.

And then I press the button as soon as she walks past and I like catch her attention and then I get a free drink.

And the way that it works out is that as long as I can get more free drinks that I'm spending at the penny slots and mostly I'm just reading a book and hiding it while I'm at the penny slots and I only press it when the waitress gets near.

I,

I can drink effectively for free, right?

It works out to be like 25 cents a drink if you're really smart about it.

That is pretty smart.

And that's my financial advice to all of you.

how you make it even better.

I used to go with a bag because when I was poor, what I would do is I would go to Vegas once every couple of years, usually for work.
