Is it gambling or risk tolerance. Speaking of gambling I was just trying to tell someone who was playing slot machines on a cruise ship to buy MSTR options instead.

I thought gambling was about making money. And if someone is going to gamble, they might have better odds and bigger payouts with MSTR options.

But for him gambling on slot machines was about clearing his mind. Something about the rolling numbers and symbols of the slot machines clears away all the existential worries of aging parents, unloving spouse, feeling stuck in life.

He doesn't want to win enough to report on taxes or lose too much either to make it worth reporting on taxes.
