There's a saying I like: "The harder I work, the luckier I get."

If we're playing a statistics game, the best way to pull ahead is to create the most opportunities you can have to be lucky. By working hard, you are providing yourself with more opportunities to be lucky. You can still fail and get unlucky, but that's an unfortunate part of life. Though it is pretty unlikely that you'll flip 50 tails in a row.

Disclaimer: I don't suggest using this strategy at the slots, your odds are just not good enough.
