There are times in life that we feel invincible; when circumstances seem to be working inexorably in our favour, when nothing can go wrong and we are dealt a hand of nothing but aces with which to bet on a continually sunny future.

Of course, this is often when we’re at our most vulnerable. When we feel that every move we make is blessed by some benevolent karmic force, urging us on with a nod and a smile, often we are capable of losing sight of reality.

Buoyed by months of good fortune and risk taking that, unbelievably, has paid off, the gravitational pull to continue on the treadmill that has served us so well can be powerfully seductive.

If you have ever gambled in a casino, you will understand this concept perfectly; you might have turned $100 into $1000, and, no matter how vociferously your friend is whispering into your ear to pick up your chips and walk away, there is always that tantalising voice in the back of your mind telling you that the winning streak will never end.

That is precisely what happened to Walter Fisher, a professional poker player. The 36-year-old had been on a sensational winning run, reportedly turning $2000 into $97,000.

Regrettably though, he fell foul to the devilish voice telling him that the astonishing streak would never end. He lost everything and ended up $100,000 in debt, and, at 245lbs, 50lbs heavier than his previous weight. Last December, though, he was given a second chance.
