Yes, but you can only do that for so long

if we lose the next two, the decision will probably be taken out of Knapper's hands. The yanks will REALLY not want to get relegated and neither will Zoe Webber.

The gambler ends up stopping eventually too, when they've lost their house and gone bankrupt.
