    An important thing to keep in mind when gambling is that luck isn’t real. You can get lucky, but you can’t be lucky. It’s all statistics, and if you play long enough the casino always wins. Odds are a few people gain some money, but more money is always lost than gained, and you’ll eventually be a loser.

      While that is true, also due to the nature of randomness and big numbers, there will be someone out there that wins an abnormal seeming amount. Like with the lottery. You can’t win, but someone always does.
