"Yeah, maybe..." Gary rolls his eyes and shrugs, leaning back into his chair with one arm slung lazily over the backboard. That's a sign that whatever worry he had before has been just as quickly forgotten as it was realized...until the second question registers. No, that was only an answer to the first. Gary's eyes widen with confused interest.

"--Hmm?" He sits up slightly. "Oh yeah! Man, why wouldn't I? That's, like--that's the goal, right? Don't you always go in to win?"

In Gary's case in particular: No he does not. Not that he realizes. But he doesn't have the self-awareness to realize that he craves the competition more than the reward--and even so, the consequences of losing are starting to outweigh the adrenaline high.
