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.
Honestly, keeping one's gambling habit in check is not what prevents a gambler from losing her winning and I believe what's important is understanding the main concept of gambling when someone understands the fundamental aspect of things it easy to flourish through the thing.
It's very dangerous to mistake probabilities for fate or destiny. Just because we won in the past is no guarantee that we are going to keep winning in the future. I think that if we just rely on fate we are losing control of our gambling habits. It's up to all of us to remain committed to a good strategy and to not get hooked on gambling. A gambling addiction can be very expensive for us and ruin our families. We need to find a good mix between gambling and investing.
You make a good point but most people seem not to get the fact that fate, control, destiny, buzz and knowledge, etc nothing of it should be ignored or remove if we really want to be a successful gambler. Mind you, being a successful gambler is not measured by how many times you have won or hit the jackpot but how many times you gambling with been addicted or spend over your budget.
