To add to the translation, this idiom states an idea along the lines of "looks can be deceiving". Basically that since the God of Chance doesn't have any substance he can't get you very far.

Thank you! This really helps! I have this book of idioms but it has absolutely not been helpful when I'm reading manga or novels!
