    That just describes that doing some thing, the “stupid games”, merely causes some negative effect, the “stupid prizes”, not that the person playing those games deserves the results of their actions. To put it another way, if they deserve them, then if hypothetically speaking the person plays the stupid games but for some reason the stupid prizes never result, then there is something morally wrong with that situation and the world would be better had things gone as expected. If they dont deserve them, then the person playing the stupid games just got lucky that time and thered be no benefit to trying to force the negative result that didnt happen to occur after all.

      I really don’t get your point. In the sense of playing stupid games, they usually do result in stupid prices. With rare exceptions maybe, which won’t influence the point at all. If you do a thing out of ignorance and reap unwanted side-effects, you well deserve those side-effects for lack of informing yourself.
