"Other gamblers will probably applaud them for finally doing the impossible."
I suspect not. Some people have the idea that "luck" is intrinsic to yourself, that it is somehow a measure of your own worth, like karmic rewards. This view seems prevalent in China.
Thus systematically beating the odds will seem like cheating.
edit:brevity, sticking to the point.
