How to use gambler in a sentence?

1. Joe Kent:

   Jake Sullivan, Antony Blinken, John Kerry … Jake Sullivan brought in all these guys who really staked their careers on the Iran deal, the JCPOA, in general, I think we continue to do the wrong things because people do n’t want to admit they’re wrong … the gambler’s fallacy.

2. Chuck Rosenberg:

   Not much of a gambler.

3. Med Jones:

   The US government alone cannot get its economy out of the crisis. It appears to me that the current policy makers are suffering from the gambler's syndrome. They keep spending more money hoping that they will eventually win. More debt spending is a receipt for bankruptcy. Real economic growth comes from government and private sector investments, not from massive debt spending followed by tax increases or currency devaluation.

4. Pope Francis:

   Four or five years, i do not know, even two or three. Two have already passed. It is a somewhat vague sensation. Maybe it's like the psychology of the gambler who convinces himself he will lose, so he won't be disappointed and if he wins, is happy. I do not know.

5. Koichi Nakano:

   It’s a bit like a gambler who already has lost too much, pulling out of it now will only confirm the huge losses made, but carrying on you can still cling to the hope of winning big and taking it all back.
