Nobody asked me that when I was a professional poker player.

To in order to forge a truly coherent response you'll have to navigate the fact that it's not just completely random nonsense. Gambling is either a game or a job. It's also an investment when the losing gamblers still find themselves making money (just not as much as those who hodled). While it's certainly good advice that most should avoid the gambling aspect and stick to investing it's not as easy as "there's no such thing as a professional gambler". And then things like survivorship bias comes into play with everyone focusing on the big winners of the shitcoin casino. Down the rabbit hole we go.
