Statistics say there’s no such thing as luck – gamblers say that statistics lie. (unknown)
Blackjack can be annoying – if you know how to play and someone to your right doesn’t. This might be the origin of “justifiable homicide”. (me, c.1999)
Take your stake off the table – if you get ahead. Only play with the winnings for then on. You’ll at least keep what you came with. This applies to investing as well.(unknown)
