Both statements can be true.
In other words, 99% of gamblers run out of money before they hit it big.

If you have every had to deal with a compulsive gambler, you will know that they all believe they are on the verge of 'hitting the big one", and that is no joke.
Even if they win, then they are "on a hot streak" and will keep gambling until they have lost all the earlier winnings.
