"يموت جميع لاعبي الخيل مفلسين"
— Damon Runyon
Simplified Meaning:
People who spend their time betting on horse races usually end up losing all their money. It's because gambling is risky and unpredictable, and most people don't win enough to make a profit. Imagine a person who starts betting on horses with high hopes of winning big. In the beginning, they might win small amounts and feel excited, but over time, the losses add up. Just like when someone buys lottery tickets regularly hoping to win the jackpot, they often end up spending more money on tickets than they win back, which can lead to financial trouble. The sensible thing to do is to avoid relying on luck to make money and instead, work hard and save wisely. This way, you have better control over your finances and don’t depend on uncertain outcomes that can empty your pockets.
