| Gambling quotes 2 "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. - VETERAN LAS VEGAS GAMBLER The Wampanoag Tribe has a machine, and they say, "It's completely idiot proof." I told them they've got it all wrong.

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 "Gambling is a principle inherent in nature." - Edmund Burke, House of Commons speech (1780) "If I lose today, I can look forward to winning tomorrow, and if I win today, I can expect to lose tomorrow.

I cured 'em of all their daydreams and delusions. - Minnesota Fats "My advice to the unborn is, don't be born with a gambling instinct unless you have a good sense of probabilities." - Jack Dreyfus of Dreyfus Mutual Fund "I have always wondered if the results of the Versailles Conferences would have been different if Woodrow Wilson had been a poker player." - Clyde Brion Davis In a bet there is a fool and a thief. - Proverb "Gambling is a principle inherent in human nature." - Edmund Burke, in a speech before the House Of Commons (1780) "Casinos and prostitutes have the same thing in common; they are both trying to screw you out of your money and send you home with a smile on you face." - VP Pappy "Look high, look low, and we see that gamblers actually form the majority of the world's inhabitants." - James Runciman, Side Lights (1893) "They gambled in the Garden of Eden, and they will again if there's another one." - Richard Albert Canfield "The Roulette table pays nobody except him that keeps it. Nevertheless a passion for gaming is common, though a passion for keeping Roulette tables is unknown." - Bernard Shaw "It can be argued that man's instinct to gamble is the only reason he is still not a monkey up in the trees." - Mario Puzo "I've learned the lesson that the worst thing that can happen to a gambler is to let his recent losses or wins knock him off keel emotionally." - Andrew Beyer "Judged by the dollars spent, gambling is now more popular in America than baseball, the movies, and Disneyland-combined." - Timothy L. O'Brien, Bad Bet (1998) "They (slot machines) sit there like young courtesans, promising pleasures undreamed of, your deepest desires fulfilled, all lusts satiated." - Frank Scoblete |
