Croupier
You have to make a choice in life. Be a gambler or a croupier. Then live with your decision come what may.
It's all numbers, the croupier thought. A spin of the wheel. A turn of a card. The time of your life. The date of your birth. The year of your death. In the Book of Numbers the Lord "Thou shalt count thy steps."
A wave of elation came over him. He was hooked again. Watching people lose.
His existence was forming an interesting pattern of betrayals. Sometimes he was unsure whether he was the betrayer or the betrayed. Now he had reached the point where he no longer heard the ball. The croupier's mission was accomplished. He had acquired the power to make you lose.
This guy's a croupier. He can't lose. People have shat on him all his life. Now's he in control. He's a winner.
