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.
