Hey buddy, I know the distinction between gambling and the stock market . Placing a bet immediately puts you in an underdog position, unlike the stock market where strategic investments can lead to growth. Gambling is often viewed more as a form of entertainment, addiction or showcasing knowledge. In my case, it leans towards the knowledge, driven by intuition and influenced by Edmonton's impressive 16-game winning streak in the preseason.
When I saw the odds for Edmonton at +750 to win the Stanley Cup from the first round, it presented me with an 11.76% chance of winning my bet. Taking into account these factors, I felt confident that a high-risk bet could potentially work in my favor, especially considering Edmonton Oilers' successful preseason. Watching the Stanley Cup brings me joy, and staying home to watch the games saves me money compared to going out.
Nonetheless, I am fully aware that my odds of winning are slim as I am considered a significant underdog, and winning the Stanley Cup would require winning 16 games. Reflecting on my past experiences, I used to invest in cryptocurrency and initially saw profits. However, the unpredictable nature of the market and its susceptibility to sudden crashes have made me wary of continuing with that investment avenue. Im more into stock market.
