      Lucky, or in Elmo’s case, born with a platinum spoon in his mouth thanks to daddy’s apartheid emerald mines.

        That’s a very big part of it.

        When fucknugget wanted to start a company he had plenty of credit either on his own, with his name, or both. If he blew 50k in an attempt he could try again next week.

        If I blew 50k I’d be homeless.

        It’s way easier to high stakes gamble when you won’t notice you lost.
