Biggest opportunity I've blownNot Alan Partridge tells us: "I was once offered the chance to co-present a programme on national radio. Audience of millions, but blew up spectacularly, my entire contribution being the rustling of paper in the background. I was that bad, I have since burned my copy of the pilot show." Tell us about your big break, and how you messed it up.

No, it's not "a cert" you would have got that card.You going to the toilet was just one of billions of events that happened leading up to somebody winning and none of those events were predicated upon any other. You happened to experience a certain chain of events which included the cards in that order and you going to the toilet. That doesn't mean that the only reason you didn't win was that choice.
When it comes to things like blown dates and job interviews it's a little less clear cut as there are things other than chance involved and you can usually stack the odds but with games of pure chance absolutely nothing you have done has in any way influenced the game or your odds of winning.

Sorry, not trying to piss on your chips with the story.Just trying to disabise you of the notion that you should feel your actions in any way cost you money.
I was going more for "don't regret what you can't control" than picking holes in the story.
