Like, could they have spent their effort better elsewhere?
Maybe.
Well, especially if- You get numb, right?
But if you're gambling, it's very easy just to see your gamble as numbers.
I've talked to professional gamblers about this phenomenon, and I'm sure it happens in financial markets too.
They're looking at numbers on a screen, and the numbers for them are essentially meaningless.
They're not interested in the identity of the horse or the jockey or the team even often.
They're just processing data.
And so the numbers at some point get so big, they get very detached from reality.
At one point in my book, Bill Benter wins $16 million, one of the largest horse racing jackpots in the history of the sport.
And he gave it up.
He left the ticket unclaimed and let it go to charity.
You know, but at that point he was winning hundreds of millions of dollars a season.
The numbers sort of lost meaning for him.
Yeah, the money, it becomes imaginary money.
It becomes, you know, digits on a screen or chips in your hand.
It doesn't seem real.
Not this is something I've ever experienced myself, but I hear that's what people feel.
I don't think luck exists.
I think luck is a semantic device that we use to explain things that we don't understand.
