This is horribly bad. He bought some apple stock, it happened to go up, and he beat the market. I once bought myself black at a roulette table, it happened to be the next color, and I beat the house. Should I write a page about the fundamentals of gambling that I read about and ultimately ignored for the fact that people like black better than red.
