...but have you considered that hard work/luck can get any number of multiple chances but hard work/crook might get short circuited at any time...

If we're measuring success, by definition the bad crook is not successful, because he will be eventually caught.

Its cynical I know, but its most likely that a smart crook will beat an honest man. All other things being equal, the best the honest man can hope for is a draw.
