Not all Gambling is rigged, I play 1 dollar bets here and there and won 410 dollars. It depends on the game. Craps has even odds. But you'll notice most gambling businesses don't offer that game. Poker with friends also has even odds. But blackjack, slots, keno, casino poker tables, roulette, etc....those are all designed for the house to win over time no matter what. Unless you only play them like once or twice, and happen to get lucky those times and come out ahead, you are going to lose money if you play them for any significant amount of time. Perfect strategy at craps and black jack have about even odds both are under 50% with I believe black jack being a little better. True, but if you are counting cards in Black Jack, you won't be able to for very long if you are winning. Craps is really the only exception.
