I've seen some become addicted. It turns into gambling. They keep putting more and more into that machine thinking the next one will pay off.

Then what happens if it does? Was it the quality of hard work that paid off? Or did the bots do it? Who do you thank? Imagine doing something and not even being able to decide whether or not its safe to give yourself credit.

I played hockey growing up. A good hockey stick is important. Never buy the expensive hockey stick that comes with a flashy pamphlet about how it makes you shoot two times harder and makes handling the puck a breeze. If you can't do those things to begin with, nothing can help you. Buy the cheap sticks and practice.
