Because the way the game works is that there are several rounds of betting, and each time you bet, another card is flipped over and shown. So basically, you get closer and closer to making a safe bet as the rounds go on, while the first bet is really pretty risky. That’s why it’s the most important. When you’re pretty sure of something in life, you can make a pretty good decision – a bet, basically. But when it’s a real “shot in the dark”, then that decision – or bet – is much more critical. You’re either gonna win big... or lose big. It’s why you don’t make a decision to marry someone until you’ve dated them for a while. Right guys?
