Even the stock market can be a wild ride. But it doesn't have to be. In short, the harder one works, the more knowledge is attained, and the more is made with less risk. Black Monday was my first $20k losing day. A real eye opener to a 29 year old supporting a family.

I punished myself for a long time because I didn't have the variance that most speak of on these blackjack forums. There is always the amazing comeback. I guess everyone is Tom Brady or John Elway. Obviously, one would need some kind of support group to endure such volatility.

Banking on the math against casino games for a future is about the dumbest thing I heard. ..
I cringe whenever I see young people playing big money at the tables. I know the look of bewilder is forthcoming. The math is for a game of cards played by people. The reality is it's a game of people played with cards.

Then you come here and pretend how you could lose all this money in a week and just laugh it off as expected...
I lost 2 mil in a year. Not in casino gambling. I've learned some people lose their minds who have lost far less. I look at it as being 29-1. I suppose this helped me handle fluctuation. Perhaps better than most. My simple rule has always been "take care of your money and it takes care of you." Therefore, I cannot see losing as winning.
