Staff, let me share my gambling story.
Was in AC playing BJ. Guy next to me gets a Ace/Four. Dealer has
an Eight showing. I'm sitting at third base and got a 20 and am
happy. Dealer offers a card to the kid with the 5/15, he declines.
Dealer asks me,, and I suggest that in the interest of fairness she
should offer the kif a card again. After some trivial conversation,
she does, he again declines. She turns over the ten and takes his
money. Halfway through the next game, he turns to me and says "oh."
The point is that the game is tough enough when you are fairly
comfortable with the rules, have a discipline, employ proper money
management, and, o yes, have a little luck. There are just too
many playing the game without a clue and the romantic in me always
feels for them.
Then, there was the guy that was so drunk that he actually fell
over backwards, eventually leaving some $500 lighter. I never feel
sorry for the fools.
Investing is interesting!!
