The urge to gamble
is so universal
and its practice so pleasurable,
that I assume it must be evil.

(1888-1939; American sportswriter, newspaper columnist, and editor)

There are so many ways to lose, but so few ways to win. Perhaps the best way to achieve victory is to master all the rules for disaster, and then concentrate on avoiding them.
quoting Victor Niederhoffer
No. The quickest route to failure is fear of trying.
Is it like concentrating on weakness and ignoring the strengths????
If you believe that what you focus on you’ll get more of – you may be attracting more disaster.
The first rule of avoiding disaster – don’t focus on mastering disaster. You may find yourself up to your butt in aligators for a long time!
Put your focus more on enjoying the journey and less on crossing the finish line. The only winner when you don’t is your Ego.
Quality reading. Thanks!
Heads they win; tails we lose!
I know of people who believe that winning is everything and that they have failed in a sense, if they do not win. Winning and losing are not mutually exclusive.
Even if one should ‘lose’ there is so much that they could have ‘won’.
If one’s perspective is grounded in respecting the journey then so much can be learnt from a loss. Winning and losing are not mutually exclusive and should not be perceived to be so.
Don’t bet your eating money, that will save your life if you listen to it.
The excitement that a gambler feels when making a bet is equal to the amount he might win times the probability of winning it. (Blaise Pascal)
Great quotes, all of them are inspiring and real. People must really know when to quit. Thanks.
This is probably the best compilation of gambling quotes that I’ve seen, great job!
