The Secret to Being a Casino Regular Winner
It’s simple: never play against someone better than you.
If he has more money than me, I don’t play. If he has better connections, I don’t play. If he’s more experienced, I don’t play. If he’s smarter than me, I still don’t play. Want to win? Easy—pick on the weak.
Long-term consistent profits work exactly like this; it’s nothing like those web novels where the protagonist taps into some hidden power and defeats a higher-level boss.
You roll the snowball so that, no matter when you look at it, you have a local advantage—you’re always bigger than the snow you’re picking up. You’re essentially bullying that little snowflake until it grows. Anyone hoping to beat a large snowball with a small one, or to steal someone else’s雪球 with a handful of snow, will almost always end up flattened beneath someone else’s雪球.
As long as you’re preying on the weak, you’re investing. “Preying on the weak” means everyone at this table is inferior to you: less capital, worse information, less skill, and less talent. Pay attention—this isn’t just about judging people; it’s also about timing. Cao Cao might be stronger than you 364 days a year, but on the day he’s bedridden, he’s weaker than you in every way.
In that case, it’s very hard to lose money.
