Big wins, huge bluffs, and all-in moments often get celebrated more than disciplined bankroll management. Does gambling culture reward reckless behavior because it makes better stories?
 
There is a mindset that says "no risk, no gain." I think gamblers too much fixate themselves on this mind set. They might be thinking, "I just need one good bet to make it big"

Life is like a game of poker: it is not about what cards you are dealt, but how you play them.
