07:08 "It's not what I have to gain." "It's that I can't afford to lose." Do these lines mean "I don't need benefit." "If I don't lose, there's no problem."?

07:34 "But even I know that some bets you just don't take." Dose this line mean "But I'm sure that you don't like gambling."? "It's not what I have to gain. It's that I can't afford to lose." = "I don't gain anything from this. If I lose, it will be bad for me." Basically, the reason he is working for Cinder is because he thinks that if he doesn't work for her, something bad will happen to him. He thinks that he will be safe if he works for Cinder.

"But even I know that some bets you just don't take." Basically, he's saying that some bets have a really high chance of losing, so it's better not to take that bet, since he will likely lose.
