    The problem most gamblers have is they can't leave with a win. If they gave themselves a decent shot at being ahead and left while they were ahead they would have a better chance to string together a winning record over time. They still will lose "in the long run" but BR management and discipline can make the odds of them defying the odds for a while higher.
