Transcript
You have lost four in a row. The next bet feels different — it feels owed. It is not. The odds on the next match do not know what happened in the last four, and the margin the bookmaker takes has not moved a cent. Chasing does one thing reliably: it makes the amount you are trying to win back larger.
