WHY IT'S NOT FAIR
The gambler MIGHT win big a few times. But each bet is random, and casinos are designed so the house wins on average. The investor grows slow and steady — boring, but it always trends UP because companies make profits over time. Over 30 years, "boring" wins almost every time. Real money is made by NOT trying to get rich quick.
