You can if there's no option which counts as a loss.

Russian roulette is a lot less dangerous when you've got lives to spare.

Where others tremble on the brink of eternity, the Doctor goes bungee jumping.

So, essentially, he's got no skin in the game. That's still not playing to win.

When the Doctor's flagrant disregard for his own safety results in your enemies contained in a bottle for all eternity, that's playing to win.

Plus he's manipulating the odds just by his existence. Timelords cause the universe to bend around them after all. Extreme odds and unlikely events are what they generate just by their very being. That is why they are Timelords.

That's still not playing to win. That's good luck in the first place, and cheating in the second.

Is that actually mentioned anywhere, or is it headcanon?

Mind you, it's a headcanon I happen to like; I first stumbled across it in this Time War fic and went "in-universe explanation for the show's Action Movie Probability? Sign me up!"

It's in the expanded universe, the BBC 8th Doctor books.
