"""When it comes to gambling, there are only two reasons to win: extraordinary luck and exceptional skill. Of these two, luck is more crucial. When luck is on your side, it can conquer all obstacles. This is why you often hear fellow gamblers say at the mahjong table that 'a blind strike can defeat the master.' Inexperienced players may resort to random moves with no strategy.
Of course, skill is important, especially in games like Texas Hold'em, Blackjack, and Big Two, where strategy plays a significant role. In the context of Mahjong, it's often said that 'fortune favors the bold.' Regardless of how skilled you are, if you consistently receive chaotic and unpredictable tiles, your chances of winning decrease significantly.
Horse racing is no different. Skilled jockeys and trainers certainly have an advantage, but luck also plays a significant role. Even if you have a highly skilled rider, if the horses you bet on perform poorly, there's little you can do. Horse racing is a risky endeavor, and luck can be a deciding factor in your success.
We all know that some gambling games are luck-based, while others require skill. For example, the lottery is purely luck-based, as is the stock market. Therefore, when beginners enter the world of gambling, they often start with games of chance like 'Big and Small' before progressing to games like Baccarat. At first, they may not understand the difference between 'Banker' and 'Player' hands, let alone more complex bets like 'Cockroach Pig' and 'Shoot Three Red.'
In Baccarat, some believe that watching the patterns of the 'Big Eye,' 'Small Road,' and 'Cockroach Pig' can give them an edge. However, these methods are often self-deception. The result of a game of Baccarat, like Fan Tan, is primarily determined by luck. Some doors are just luckier than others, and some players are luckier than others. The outcome largely depends on luck.
Luck may shine for a while, but very few people can be lucky all their lives. It's said that 'a person plans, but Heaven decides,' and luck is only the second factor. What follows are fate, accumulated good deeds, and education. The same principles apply to Double Bonus (DB). Without luck, even with a perfect card-counting strategy in Blackjack, if the dealer gets a Blackjack, you must accept defeat.
Let me reiterate, luck is not everlasting. In the long run, card counting offers a slightly better winning edge. It's all temporary; nothing can be taken with you. Only skills stay with you. Skills last a lifetime and can continuously improve. Likewise, luck can change as your skills progress. Just like a famous actor whose confidence shines through, luck tends to favor those who are confident and skilled.""" |
