There's nothing we can do

Life is so changeable.


It's like betting on a ball, picking the winner before opening the whistle, and dropping the bet. Sit down and watch the game. Watching the team you are betting on is scoring violently, make a series of imaginary cooperation before placing a bet to expand the result, and think about the huge sum of money that you are about to get. Boom! However, every story has a counterattack that is almost miraculous. You lost so badly.


This formula can be applied to almost any form of gambling. The small steel ball on the roulette wheel falls next to the number you bet, and Texas Hold'em holds two aces in the bottom of the pool but turns over 3 2s. . .


Examples of this are everywhere. Small probability is just what it means in mathematics. God doesn't think so. For us, its probability is the two possibilities of happening and not happening.


This also makes the sentence of controlling life seem ridiculous. At the same time, it also explained that so many people who have insight into the rules of the world are becoming more and more convinced of all the mysterious things of Feng Shui and luck.


Because they probably know too much about the course of life, they can do too little.


I don’t know who has studied the psychology of gamblers so thoroughly, using Al’s words to say in the film: They are all waiting to lose, if they lose, they will feel relieved and relaxed, just bad luck. Put into the next gambling. If you lose, you can't make it worse, but you will always lose if you win. It's not that they don't care about gains and losses, Al values ​​his wife so much that he wants to lose her early, so that he doesn't have to worry about losing her again.


It's very confusing to read? For example, during the escape, Lincoln said to Mike: You gave a death row prisoner the last thing he should have, hope. The more important things are, the more I want to lose them sooner, and the more I am afraid of the idea of ​​getting them. This thought is full of tragedy, a gambler's romance.


Today, luck is not on my side. I failed to pass an important exam as scheduled. I comfort myself: I know what is not good if we are too weak. After watching this movie, I realized that these two sentences are not the self-encouragement of a gambler. There is a yarn difference from the next one that will definitely win back the profit!


You can't influence any description of the outcome of gambling. All you can do is have fun and enjoy the unpredictability of life.

I'm not saying to admit one's fate, never. However, you have to know that heavy gains and losses cannot make things beneficial to you. What people are doing is looking at things, but doing good deeds do not ask about the future. The details are all inspirational quotes from gamblers. Life is a big bet, and real betting is like a game in a game. The cost is much smaller, but you can experience the fun of betting to win life. This is probably the fun of gambling.


Matthew McConaughey can win the bet not because he is good at it, nor is it because he had good luck before and bad luck afterwards. In short, he do it for fun. Too heavy gains and losses, wins also loses.


There's nothing we can do. This sentence is really not said in a helpless tone.
