If mobsters held you at gunpoint and threatened to shoot you in the head unless you doubled your money within the next hour, here's what you'd do.
Go to the nearest baccarat table, put it all on "Banker," and hope the slight statistical advantage works in your favor.
If mobsters aren't holding you hostage and you have an infinite time frame for learning how to gamble profitably, you'd do things different.
You might spend three months studying books on poker, three months playing friendly no-monetary games online, and three months playing low stakes at various casinos.
Eventually you'd have a pretty good strategy and know enough about table selection, player psychology, and risk management to win consistently.
Same philosophy applies everywhere else.
The quick shortcut or banking on luck is far less effective than putting in a consistent effort and letting your results and experience compound over time.
