Re: matusow story
there are millions and millions of non-compulsive gamblers who occasionally play roulette, craps or slots.
Perhaps it depends on your definition of 'horrible' -EV bet though.
If I offer you 70/30 on a flip of the coin that i think that's pretty bad.
Roulette is only 5% disadvantage.
However, if you play for just 2 hours (and kept your bet size approximately the same) then I would suggest that your chances of making money are probably 30% or less.
If your tendency is to increase your bets after you've been winning then your chances of winning in the end are even slimmer.
I think there are PLENTY of non-compulsive gamblers making -EV bets everyday.
