The only thing on Earth you can count on is that there is nothing on Earth you can count on.

About This Quote

This quote is often used when talking about something that has no definite outcome, such as when it comes to things like gambling: “The only thing on Earth you can count on is that there is nothing on Earth you can count on.” This is a common saying in the gambling industry because the odds of winning in gambling are extremely low. It doesn’t matter if you bet $10,000 or $1,000, your chances of winning are very slim. Many gamblers just pull their accounts and give up before ever giving it a shot. However, what many people fail to realize is that this statement can be applied to anything in life too.

Life has its ups and downs and it all has its set of probabilities. You can never know for sure what will happen but you can always hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
