Yep, it never works out for the gambler and house always wins.
Good tactic but I'll rather power up than leave it in savings. I dislike having STEEM in a form which isn't making a profit. Whether it's from curation or the 2% yearly "interest" on SP, I just hate leaving it to collect dust in liquid form where I can just either gamble it away or waste it on bidbots and whatnot.
No arguments here! Savings is just a temporary storage that prevents you from gambling away everything when you're riding a high lol. If you know you want to play dice again in a few days, savings will make sure you're able to.
