Ron's interest in gambling was borne out of his desire to get money. We see this love for gambling right from the beginning at the Chess tournaments, and later on, it shifted to poker.
But his interest in maths was his own choice; he wasn't pressured into it. I think it was his love for maths that guided him to take it as his research subject. The monetary gain he received from the stock market due to his research on Fractals was purely coincidental.

Well, of course that is a fact that he was more interested in money than anything else. I feel like the mathematics thing was a natural to him that is why he got to be so good at playing chess. I don't think he struggled that much when he studied mathematics, hence it was an easy pizzy decision to go to school while being paid for it.Brenda Creech wrote: ↑04 Nov 2020, 13:00I absolutely agree with you! His focus was money more than school. When he did go to school it was because Regina was paying him to do so! And you are right about his love for gambling being apparent right from the start with his love of chess. Very well said!Melexa wrote: ↑03 Nov 2020, 12:45 I think Ron's love for gambling was borne out of his desire to get money.

Generally, school wasn't central in Ron's mind. So his love for maths was on the periphery. His focus was money, and whatever gives him that becomes important to him.

People who are most of the times good at playing board games tend to be good at mathematics. I could agree that he gambled for money out of unfortunate circumstances. Mathematics was already in his blood in my view, hence I trust he discovered his love for mathematics when he went to school although he took the opportunity because of money.EnobongGold wrote: ↑04 Nov 2020, 17:50 Sometimes people are pushed to do something out of circumstance. I wouldn't conclude that he really loved gambling, I'd rather say he did it to make money. He developed his love for Math when he later started to school
