Almost by definition the only “huge winners” at the roulette table are the people who keep putting it all on black and let it ride. Because the people who take their winnings off can’t ever get the huge payouts.

And some people seem absolutely unable to understand the probabilities involved. It seems to almost be a requirement for startup leaders.
