I recently watched a rank novice win $10,000 in an hour-long poker session
at the Dunes Hotel Casino in Las Vegas from five men who are considered to
be among the twenty best Poker players in Las Vegas. That was chance, a
momentary aberration in the probabilities. They are inevitable in any
gambling game. If it weren't for them - and the long-odds winning they make
possible - gambling would be barren of what makes it gambling. Certainly
luck operates, to this limited extent, within the theory of probability. All that
theory guarantees is that ultimately each player will have been dealt an
approximately equal number of opportunities to win, an approximately equal
number of good, bad, and indifferent hands." John Scarne, legendary
gambling author

Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered. - William Shakespeare
