Something to think about; from a great book "Super Casino"
"People come to Las Vegas and they lose $300 or maybe even $1,000 and they go home and really feel like they're big gamblers. Well, they aren't. They are playing at gambling. Let me tell you what real gambling is all about. Real gambling is standing at a craps table and shooting the dice with your entire paycheck spread out on the numbers, okay? It's knowing if the dice hit, you are going to win two or three or maybe five times your weekly salary, and if they don't hit, then you will be broke for the entire week ---- I mean, not even have enough to buy a can of dog food."
Something to think about; since it really isn't about the money; it's about RISK. It's about pushing the envelope, taking chances that have real and immediate consequences.
So... I guess I'm not really a gambler... some more insight tomorrow....
