"So you want me to go get our money back?"
I looked at him, quelling my first instinct to express amazement he could speak.
"No, we don't do that if a newbie gets lucky their first night, assuming they aren't cheating. It gets out we beat up successful gamblers, we get no new customers."
"Oh.
So what if he's lucky next time?"
"Then his luck will run out."
He stared at me until I explained.
