When I tell people what I do for a living, I hear things like this:

“The stock market!? That’s a real crap shoot!”

“You invest in startups? I’d rather play the lotto!”

“Oh, isn’t that like gambling?”

Comments like that used to bother me. But not anymore.

Nowadays, I take them as a تعریف.

And once I show you why, you’ll see that investing like a “gambler” could be a اچھا thing…

In fact, it could put more money in your pocket than you ever thought possible!

Try Your Luck!

Being called a “gambler” used to bother me because, by definition, it was the exact اس کے برعکس of how I invest.

“To gamble” means to play games that are decided by luck, or to take a high-risk wager.

But everything Matt and I do — for our personal investments, and for the investment analysis we do here at Crowdability — is about ختم کرنا خطرہ.

When we make an investment, it’s based on a کے نظام… the type of system that enables us to make decisions based on facts, data, or math.

That’s why being called a “gambler” bothered me so much.

But here’s what I’ve come to learn…

Gamblers’ Multi-Million Dollar “Salary”

If you ever talk to a اصلی gambler — a “professional” gambler — you’ll discover that they use systems, too, just like me and Matt.

اور جب میں کہتا ہوں۔ پیشہ ورانہ gambler, I’m not referring to people who make an annual pilgrimage to Las Vegas to play the slots or a few hands of blackjack.

I’m talking about people who make their رہ through gambling.

And there’s one group of these “pros” we can learn the most from: Poker Players.

You see, with poker, the odds aren’t stacked in favor of the house. That’s because players aren’t competing against the casino… instead, they’re competing against one another.

And this is why I’ve spent time studying the most successful poker players:

Professionals like Vanessa Selbst, the Yale Law School dropout who earned $11.6 million playing poker…

Or, Fedor Holz who, according to فوربس, earned a whopping $23.3 ملین تنخواہ کا دن playing poker in his first four years alone.

The Gambler’s Edge

These professionals know that, to win مسلسل, they need an “edge” over their competitors.

This “edge” comes from knowing the mechanics of the game better than their opponents:

Being able to calculate the odds of each hand. Knowing how to place bets to optimize your “take.” Knowing when to call, raise, and fold.

Basically, they use a کے نظام.

And over time, by applying this system consistently, their edge adds up.

But one strategy to gain an edge gives them their سب سے بڑی advantage…

اور جیسا کہ یہ پتہ چلتا ہے، آپ استعمال کر سکتے ہیں اسی strategy as an investor to make more money.

The One Rule You Must Follow

The strategy I’m referring to is known as “table selection.”

As it turns out, table selection — literally, the ٹیبل you choose to play at — is the first and most important step in a professional poker player’s system.

Simply put, if an experienced player sits down at a table full of amateurs, he or she has an above-average chance of walking away with a profit.

اور یہ ہے بالکل how the pros earn a consistent living.

They wait. They watch. And when they see a table of amateurs — in other words, a table where their potential returns are inherently اعلی — they sit down and جمع.

And like I mentioned, آپ can use this same technique with investing…

Choosing the Right Table

You see, when it comes to investing, there are different markets, different asset classes — stocks, bonds, currencies, etc.

Think of these markets as different “tables.”

And just like with poker, some of these tables offer you an advantage…

An advantage like bigger returns!

For example, consider the private market — in particular, the market for early-stage “startups.”

Multiple studies have shown that private-market investing offers outsized returns.

For instance, a 25-year study by Cambridge Associates — an investment advisory firm with clients like Bill Gates and the Rockefeller Foundation — found that a diversified portfolio of early-stage, private market investments generated annual returns of 55% per year.

قریب ہے 10x زیادہ than the stock market average.

Again, simply by sitting at “the private market table,” you can put yourself in position to earn big returns.

But to be clear, “table selection” can’t be your پورے private market investing strategy.

It’s just a first step…
