Default Re: My girlfriend is a losing gambler

I've explained to her that it's not luck that I win money and it's not some innate instinct she's lacking either.

I'm not sure if that is entirely true. Seriously. I have a theory that most people who win money at poker are naturals. Not in that they naturally know what to do without studying poker, but that the concepts behind winning poker come naturally to them through study. I think most winning players find these concepts easy to understand, more so than other people.

I've always thought it strange when math professors, compsci geeks, and other very intelligent people misunderstand funtamental gambling concepts time and time again.
