If he thinks that it is out of luck; that might be fine... he is
thinking... what did I do wrong this time... next time I must not
make the same mistake.
That is so much worse, because he thinks that there is a way to
play in a way that he can end up "in the black" like dragg asked
you.
Instead of recognising tha gambling is like watching a movie, you
pay for the ticket, watch the movie than do you ask the cinema to
pay you back for the ticket? You think the gambling operators are
so stupid? The rules are theirs, the place is theirs, they have
made all the calculations and have considered things that you did
not even know you should consider.
