Gambling

The first lesson you should know about gambling is, if you see someone winning all the time, he’s not gambling. He’s cheating! Everyone, except gamblers know that gambling never pays. Losing like winning only increases your determination to play. A false promise. 

Gambling is the sure way to get nothing from something. It’s only a gambling problem if you’re losing. The safest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it in your pocket. Gambling takes away your best years. The better the gambler, the worse the man. 

There are two great pleasures of gambling: that of winning and that of losing. At gambling, the deadly sin is to mistake bad play for bad luck. You’re not unlucky, you’re retarded. Just take a look at your picks! Even if Lady Luck passed by, you were nailed on to miss her. 

What is life if not a gamble? Gambling addiction hotlines would be so much more effective if the 10th caller was a winner. Gambling isn’t just an addiction, it’s a dedication.  For this purpose there are no clocks in Las Vegas casinos. It’s not by accident, but by design. 

A gambler is nothing but a man who makes his living out of false hope. It’s hard to walk away from a winning streak, even harder to leave the table when you’re on a losing one. The harshest lesson gambling will teach you is the difference between having fun and being smart. 

It’s winning that counts, not taking part. What’s the difference between praying in the church and praying in the casino? In the casino you really mean it! A friend of mine won $100k! Part of it went to gambling, and part of it on women. The rest he spent foolishly. 

Sometimes the only way out is to go all in.
