$50 Weekly Investment

Hello all,

I decided to stop throwing money in a video poker machine once a week which is usually around $40-$60 and instead started buying $25 of XRP and $25 of Bitcoin every Monday. I'm doing this to stop myself from putting money in a video poker machine because I know in the long run I'll end up losing gambling. I could very well end up losing in this $50 a week strategy as well but this way I get to scratch the itch of gambling and it could work out well in the long run unlike the inevability of losing it gambling on a dumb poker machine or sports.

I make enough to save $500 every week when I get a paycheck and was wondering if this strategy is dumb or if someone else is doing something similar.

Would you stick with Bitcoin and XRP?
