With the advent of legalized gambling through out much of the country it has got me thinking about how much growing a giant pumpkin is like gambling. You have to choose a seed and then front all this money and labor in the hopes of winning. Just like gambling, the more you put in, the more you can potentially win. Also like gambling, none of us are actually making a profit. Anything we make goes into paying for this years crop and if you are lucky, some of next years crop. Perhaps someone could actually come out on top if they won a major weigh off then just quit and walked away from the hobby. No one ever does that. They go at it again next year and maybe they win again.... But it is likely they lose a few to splits,rot or YVD etc. If they are fortunate, the grower will get at least one fruit to a weigh off every year. (this would be analogous to having enough parlays to win at least one of them)
