I disagree. The serious answer is you have to be the one person that gets lucky.
Take 1024 people each with 1000. They all play roulette and go all in every round, half on black half on red. After 10 rounds, 1023 people have lost all their money, and one has won a million dollars.
The person who “made it” didn’t do anything different, or play a +EV game. He just got lucky.
