No shit, Sherlock. Every app/startup/thing in the world is a gamble. Casinos just expose the fact that you're gambling and allow for finite numbers of your odds of winning. In the real world, the numbers are generally just guesses, like a stock market. Sometimes you work hard and get nothing in return. Sometimes, you don't work at all and get everything in return. I'm pretty sure that the "Apple Heroin" they speak of it just cash, piles of cash shot directly in the arm.
