It's not fate, it's simply randomness. You can be brilliant, put in the effort and still fail miserably, but your chances are nonetheless much higher than people who don't put in the effort or are unintelligent.

Counting cards or rolling d20s comes to mind here.
You can roll more, or find ways to add +5 to your favor -- tilt the odds an extra 10% -- but at the end of the day it's random.
So you either find ways to roll the dice more, roll the dice without having to bet anything, or ways to add an extra 5% onto your odds.
