have no business with money anyway.

- At
that point I ought to have gone away, but a strange sensation
rose up in me, a sort of defiance of fate, a desire to
challenge it, to put out my tongue at it. I laid down
the largest stake allowe-four thousand gulden-and lost
it. Then, getting hot, I pulled out all I had left, staked
it on the same number, and lost again, after which I walked
away from the table as though I were stunned. I could
not even grasp what had happened to me.
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Gambler

- If
I had the money and the drinking capacity, I'd probably
live at a roulette table and let my life go to hell.
-Michael Ventura
|
- Baccarat
is a game whereby the croupier gathers in money with a
flexible sculling oar, then rakes it home. If I could
have borrowed his oar I would have stayed.
Mark Twain

- I
hope to break even this week. I need the money.

- The
Wampanoag Tribe has a machine, and they say, It's
completely idiot proof. I told them they've got
it all wrong. I want a machine that is idiot friendly.

- The
subject of gambling is all encompassing. It combines man's
natural play instinct with his desire to know about his
fate and his future.
-Franz Rosenthal, Gambling in Islam (1975)
|
- Why
otherwise would that dignified fellow dressed like a banker
be sitting at a machine murmuring; Talk to me baby,
I know you understand my needs.
-Roger Fleming
