Skill gets you to the table but luck decides if you walk away grinning or not. Most bettors I see overthink it and still lose to a 90th minute red card.
once caught my dad trying to watch the old James Caan film 'The Gambler' like it was a training manual, he still lost fifty bucks on a horse named Glue Factory the next day
Honestly Spain surprised me too, that match where they held 70% possession against a really physical side felt like a throwback to their golden era. Was watching with my cousin who kept yelling at the screen everytime Pedri turned his man lol.
