I knew a guy like that. He always won at poker or any game of chance he played. One time we were in Atlantic City, New Jersey. He broke even at the tables, uncharacteristically. Apparently, his parking ticket in the garage where he parked in AC had a daily lottery. Several days after he got home, he received a letter in the mail informing him he won $5,000 in that parking lottery in Atlantic City. I on the other go to a casino with $200 to spend. After 30 minutes of playing seven card stud realize, I just lost $120 and am having no fun; time to stop and say, "I just made $80. If I hadn't quit, I would have lost the entire $200 instead of just $120. :(
