No cosmic, not desperate, (there is very little on the horizon to indicate a change of fortune in the near future), just trying to get a clearer analogy.

Of course casino's are 24/7.

I was just trying to point out the difference in the instantaneous value of the investment (gamble) as it related to the your analogy.

In your analogy, the chips you bet, (your original investment) still maintain their initial value up until the ball stops. IF there were a scenario that would terminate the game before the wheel stopped spinning naturally, your original investment would still exist. You would not lose anything.

This differs from the current state of affairs, in that should the 'game' stop now, because of some outside influence, you would NOT get your original investment back.

Thus the analogy is inappropriate. That's all.
