Totally agree，fate just a excuse for us to console ourselves，the reason is lack of control，if you keep gambling without control，might be you could win one or twice，but you would lose finally. This is a normal phenomenon for a gambler.
Gamling just for fun，not for life.
That's just how things go, if you can't keep your gambling habits in check you'll just lose the winnings you get, somewhere down the line you'll be selling stuff that are dear to you but you would because you need to support your gambling addiction. You see instilling discipline to yourself doesn't just promote a good win ratio when gambling. It also assures you that your gambling habits are in check and you are not addicted.
