Might that be because you don't play? That's *usually* my reason for not
winning, although once in a while (when the expected value (of the net
present value of the win after taxes) >100% of the cost to play) it is
because the gods don't like me as much as the guy with the missing teeth and
poor spending habits who does win. I've even promised the gods I'd blow a
lot of the dough on bowling balls and bass boats and get some teeth removed
but they must not believe me.
