Missing, extremely new, or very obvious to obtain.

A quote from the 1989 movie "God of Gamblers." After defeating the Japanese top-ranked gambler Tanaka, main character Ko Chun asked him the reason for betting on this match: "You challenged me knowing you would lose, so every gambler has their excuses." It draws similarity to Ace Gambler's story, who still pressed on despite knowing that it wouldn't end well for him. - Credit: Necrosyrtes
