In the beginning, everything was even money.

Many gamblers think they're being singled out by fate as a target for cruel jokes. They feel they alone in all the universe are being tortured, experimented upon by some unknown force.

Adventurers tend to prance about the ladder of success, fearing less the sensation of a great fall than the humility of hanging idle.

I am a lucky player; a powerful winning force surrounds me.

All losers exaggerate because they want you to know how bad they feel.

When you start somewhere, you've started.

In the beginning, everything was even money.
