Is there a metaphysical or like everyday life kind of application to this, everybody seems to be talking about Gambling or like using that metaphor at the very least. I don't gamble (in name if not in deed) but I sense there's a takeaway I can sort of apply to life buried in here. Any thoughts?

My takeaways would be:

  1. Never trust averages on their face
  2. Being consistent gives you an advantage
  3. Always be looking to reevaluate your situation and maximize what you can get out of it
