True Story related to the above quote... I can't say that I am really proud of it, but it is an anecdote that I thought would be worth sharing here.

It was early in the morning, I was in downtown Vegas, I had just grabbed my first cup of coffee, so I decided to have a little fun to start the day. The casino floor is relatively empty so I head over to a low stakes craps table and decide to try to pick-up $50 - $100 by making a series of progressive bets. I am the only player at the table. The game goes on as expected for a half hour with some minor ups and downs, but I do not reach my goal. Then a bit of a losing streak ensues, but nothing major and I just continue to progress my bets without thinking too much about it. The stickman then says to me;

"Did I tell you that I saved a gal from being raped on the way into work this morning?"

I exclaim "No way! What happened!"

He says "I stopped chasing her."

Ouch! I get it, I think to myself... this is a buzzkill.

A short time later, and without any further conversation, I was able to hit something and achieve my goal and quietly leave the table. I did not leave a tip. Gambling Quotes

I am watching the Vikings pre-game show this morning and they are discussing the chances of the 4-6 Vikings make the play-offs. One of the commentators says... what is that old saying?

"They got two chances. Slim and none, and None left town." - Dawn Mitchell

Well, close, lol! It kind of detracts from it when None leaves town, instead of Slim... lol!

The actual saying is one of the most popular of All Time and originates from the Greatest of All Time...

�Frazier's got two chances. Slim, and none. And Slim just left town.�
-Muhammad Ali

“Gambling is not about how well you play the games, it’s really about how well you handle your money.”

This is from poker player V. P. Pappy. We could pick a number of quotes from him as he’s made several great ones, but this is probably our favorite in terms of the advice it contains. He is making the excellent point that good money management is absolutely essential to successful gambling.
