Is that the correct phrasing? It would imply that a fool that never wins and never quits should quit... but if quitters never win this fool would be sure to not win once they've quit.

Can't resist: "The only winning move is not to play" :)

But I guess it means that a winner knows when there is no path to a win and retreats to do something where it is actually possible to win.

In the finance industry, when there is no play to be made...the play is to buy options that are profitable if things stay the way there are.

Basically, when you know to "do nothing", there is an action to be taken - it just depends on "nothing really happening" to work out.

The point is they're not going to win anyway.

Sometimes you don't win.
