Lately I’ve been thinking about how some of my friends who are super smart end up spending hours in casinos or on poker nights. One buddy is a mathematician and swears he enjoys the probability side of it more than the winnings. Personally, I once joined a poker group at university and noticed the conversations drifted from strategy to philosophy, books, even science debates. Do you think gambling really attracts people who like intellectual challenges, or am I just over-romanticizing it?
