Quoted from ktownhero:The difference is that some people hope for luck, and some people create their luck. Yeah, you might occasionally get "lucky" with an investment or hitting on a 19 in blackjack, but you're much better off educating yourself, creating goals and a plan, and sticking to it. You invest in things because you understand them. You stay on a 19, hit on a 4, double-down on a 10, split on an 11 and occasionally hit on a 12 if you're counting your cards else you stay.
In my experience, those with "money" get it that way far more than any sort of "luck".
PS - I like blackjack
"For some people... luck itself is an art"
-Martin Scorsese in the intro for "The Color of Money"
Pinball excellence is not about excellent pinball.
Seriously though, I know a lot of guys of more modest means with nice collections. Learn the "art" of buying and selling games in order to afford them. Some guys make it look easy and others can't seem to get in the groove, but once you're in there, you know how to do it.
