" do I think that I can outsmart the white people who created this game?"
And why did your friend decide that "white" people are able to deceive only him and you? I'll tell you more. They tend to do this with everyone. And this applies not only to gambling.
I live in a country where there have become a lot of oligarchs over the past 2 decades. So they brazenly and directly rob their "white" people without any constraint. Already not even hide this. They say this directly. And why? Yes, all because the president of the country covers them and the laws do not apply to them. Life is getting worse and worse every day. The people are brought to total poverty and despair. Grounded in loans and debts. There is practically no way out of this. Only radical measures will help, but only everyone is afraid to say something against the authorities, since this is fraught with consequences and a criminal term. A large number of regime opposition were killed. Even the deputies were deprived of their lives for daring to speak out against.
Do not think that "white" people are somehow different about their own. No, this is not so.
