Gambling is meant to be fun, not a profit enter. For $20 USD worth of Steem I can play for weeks. If someone is playing with money they can't afford to loose then they shouldn't be playing, period the end.
And the house doesn't always win in the end for each player. It's a law of large numbers that allow a casino to stay in business. They win with some players and loose with others. I should know, in real world and online I'm actually up money over the last 25 years of gambling. And yes that includes KG...it's not much on KG, but I'm up in play plus have earned 44 Steem in dividends and earned millions of tokens which I've sold. Since seeing is believing, here is a screenshot...dragged the screen down so it would pick up the date too. Up 157 Steem not counting other income from KG's tokens.
Impressive, but doesn’t seem worth the effort given the small percentage of gains based on your total wagered.

I enjoy playing and go into it with the knowledge the I very likely will loose, but it's entertainment.
If you are looking at it as an investment of time and the reward you get for that time...nothing on steem is worth the time currently. At that none of your time messing around online is worth it, no time on FB is worth it, watching YouTube isn't worth it, and for sure watching TV isn't worth it either. I know people that pay $150 a month for TV and spend hours a day watching it...what do they get out of that? Well it's all a form of entertainment, it's not about getting anything other then that entertainment value in exchange for our time.
For entertainment it's cheap. A really bad day of playing might cost me $40, but that rarely happens and as I've shown over time it levels out. But even at $40, compared to the potential losses if I went to a real casino that is nothing. Haven't walked into a physical casino since I started playing dice and BJ online as it fills the same entertainment value but with very little risk. Heck I spend more then $40 on drinks at the casino and gas/tolls to get to the casino anytime I go.
But if it's not something you enjoy then it's not for you that's cool. I'm having fun and will keep doing it even if it's not a smart use of my time.
you are still gambling so you can't say that you are ahead "in the end" unless you quit now and never gamble again . Then you will be the anomaly. Please post your stats in 6 months and let's see how you are doing. How could any of these gambling sites stay in business unless 99 % of the people ultimately lose? These sites are the lowest common denominator of DAPPS. They are boring , old hat and only aim for 1 thing - to take your money and profit from your demise.They prey upon the weak willed and dangle the carrot of "provably fair" and it's disgusting.
OK Boomer.
I love you too
