This type of gambling lose money. If you want the thrill of risking something, rob a bank. Either you win big, or your suffering immediately ends 💀🔫👮♂️

Banks don’t hold large amounts of cash anymore.

“large” is relative.
Unless you’re incredibly thorough about totally cleaning out the vault, ATM, every teller drawer, etc. you’re probably not gonna be able to get more than a few 10s of thousands if you’re lucky
But even a few thousand, or hell, even a couple hundred could be huge for a lot of people.
That might be rent for a month or a couple of months when they’re really struggling, what they need to keep their car from getting repo’d so they can get to their job, pay for some badly needed home repairs, medications, etc.
I’m not struggling, but I’m not exactly doing great either, a couple extra thousand bucks on-hand would be amazing for me, and for some people it could be literally life-changing (even life-saving)
