About This Quote
It's hard to walk away from a winning streak, even harder to leave the table when you're on a losing one. The idea is that winning streaks are addictive. Once you start winning, your behavior becomes erratic and strange. You may be doing strange things like eating strange foods or acting strange in public.
Eventually, you'll start wondering if it's any good to win. But this happens only after you've lost all the way.
