I occasionally try to imagine the mindset needed to have fun gambling or to buy a lottery ticket. As far as I can tell the 'fun' requires me to believe that 'lady luck' is on my side.
Folks can't visualize what these probabilities mean. All numbers are equal. Pick all 1s, it is as likely as any other outcome. Do you think all 1s is less probably than some other specific sequence? Well... you probably shouldn't play then.
Nope, I'm not going to play because its stupid, and you shouldn't either.
