...feel a new rush?

At 10:43, I have an overwhelming feeling that everything could change in 17 minutes. Of course, the odds of me winning any money are insurmountable, but the feeling is unique. At the blackjack table in Vegas, you win or lose a little at a time. Although the potential for overall gain fuels continuous play, you must gradually overcome a slim mathematical advantage over an extended amount of time(in many games, the house only retains a 1% advantage, which is sufficient over a long duration. A concept John refuses to apply to poker, yet has kept casinos in business for literally centuries).

I don't mind not winning. Two dollars is a small price to pay for the feeling of possibility once a week.
