I just opened a gambling account on draftkings and made a deposit in about 3 minutes. I’m a terrible gambler and know next to nothing about it. Will the media write articles about how much money I’m about to lose and how other people are responsible for my stupid decisions?

I’m an adult. If I want to be a moron, it’s no one’s fault but my own. If I want to bet my mortgage on tomorrow’s coin toss, then I’m an asshole, and it’s not draftkings fault, it’s not the SECs fault, it’s not Elon Musks fault or Reddit. It’s on me. Period. Obviously....

No one should feel bad for me, no matter how stupid my bets might be. It’s not anyone’s problem but mine, my family and the IRS. I don’t understand why anyone should feel any sympathy for me whatsoever. Don’t people have their own problems? Why should my problems be theirs too?

So I lost both my bets tonight which represents a 50% loss in my account just 24hrs after my deposit. Should I go crying to mommy about it? Do we need better gambling education to stop from me making reckless decisions? Should we be outraged that the system is rigged against me?
