I do not why or how patience is connected to experience in terms of gambling, but all I know is that gambling is all about luck, not patience nor hard work. It may have a slight touch of knowledge and skill but all in all, it all depends on the gambler's luck. I don't think that experience matter on gambling since it is not like being a teacher where experience is great.
It seems kinda hypocritical statement when we say it's all a luck game and on the other side we state the involvement of experience as well.
