This is a low quality article, making some facile analogies between gambling and starting businesses and pursuing a stand-up comedy career (huh?)

It would be better if they unpacked this sentence, but it stops there:

There’s a difference between gambling, trading and building your own business but there are also similarities.

I also recall Norm MacDonald saying that some regulation against online poker "saved him", because he was playing all night and couldn't sleep. So he was clearly a gambling addict, and it doesn't help to draw bad analogies. Comedy is risky, but it's also a constructive pursuit. RIP.
