I guess I am not a gambler so I will try to understand. After winning a sports bet, getting dealt 4 of a kind AND a full house on a hundred play, where is the rational to continue?

            I put 100 on the Celtics money line last night. After the game I went in to
collect my $280 and decided to play some 100 play video. For the first time
in my life, I got a dealt 4 of a kind. I was playing all hands and betting
max. Pretty nice.

Literally like 10 hands later I got a dealt full house.

I ended up giving both of these wins back though.

I worked out the odds of getting a dealt 4 of a kind and only got every
4,165 games or so. This is surprising, assuming I did my math right.
Intuitively I would expect it to be further, to the order of 10,000 games or
so.

I put in $40 and after my dealt 4 of a kind I said I'd stop when I got to
either $200 and $40. I got up to $185 I think but just fell down to $40. It
wasn't a big deal since I got a nice win off the Celtics game.

You're right, you are not a gambler. You do it because you are either, A)
Having fun, or B) Playing at an advantage. In the best of all possible
worlds it is both.
