Got your Communist Party membership card yet?

I got a dollar. You want it. Why should give it to you for no interest and take the risk you will not repay?

You want that dollar? You pay me to take that risk.

I have understood gambling to a small degree for a long time. I limit 99.9% of my gambling to the stock market. My brother will only casino gamble one way. He walks in, and places all he has to lose on one bet. He either wins or loses. That way the odds only shave him once. It is the 1% haircut per pass that is the secret to Casino profits.
