Yep, it is a cheap fantasy.

When I was in the 5th grade I was at my friend Jimmy's house and we were
playing cards. His father came home from work and said he would teach
us to play better. He showed us the hands but he also inter weaved the
odds and how the house always wins and you don't. It was a great lesson
that stuck with me. I may spend $20 for the entertainment value, but I
never had the urge to play to think I'd win big.

I can afford to spend $2 for the fun of it. You'll never see me buying
the $10 rub-offs though.
