A three-panel SMBC comic contrasting attitudes toward gambling. Panel 1, labeled NORMAL PERSON: a smiling man in a casino holds his empty pockets open, saying "Hooray, gambling!" Panel 2, labeled MATH ENTHUSIAST: a scowling young man sneers, "Gambling?! I guess you have NO KNOWLEDGE of statistics?!" Panel 3, labeled MATHEMATICIAN: a grinning woman in glasses stands in the same casino with her arms full of tall stacks of poker chips and cash bulging from her pockets, also saying "Hooray, gambling!" The joke: the math hobbyist disdains gambling, but an actual mathematician knows how to win and cleans up. Votey aftercomic, labeled ECONOMIST: a stern man stares ahead and says, "Give me your money so I can gamble."
