Text sample:
An Introduction
“Eat your betting money,
but don’t bet your eating money.”
─ Horseracing proverb.
Indulgence in modern gambling is like a slow seductive dance. First it will make you feel lucky. Then it will seduce you through instant gratification and dreams of its bounty. Once you’re on the hook, it will ultimately take all of your money. You may borrow, you may beg and ─as its grip tightens─ you may steal.
...
The most difficult thing I ever had to do was to quit gambling. And to realise, as Casino King-Steve Wynn once quipped to Charlie Rose; “The only way to win in a Casino is to own one.” Thankfully, I have for some time now, been seated among a group of true winners in the life raft known as recovery. Regrettably, I’ve fancied many forms of this mobbed-up biblical vice for over thirty years. Yes, the mathematics of probable outcomes surfaced in my paradoxically pleasurable leisure pursuit, proving its tried and tested rudimentary precision to near destroy me.
