1 correction and 2 observations: Correction: Doc's activities in the "steakhouse" are explained in dialog. He's tracking the results of the flips and calculating the odds, which he calls out to someone. John hears this, then decides to start playing, and Doc's calculations are correct, which is why he wins at first. Observation #1: It is only when John tries to make his own luck by being the tosser that he loses everything. Observation #2: John's landlord/bartender at the beginning, Charlie, is played by the late John Meillon, who viewers of a certain age might recognize as Wally from the Crocodile Dundee films.
