| The subject of gambling is all encompassing. It
combines man's natural play instinct with his desire to know
about his fate and his future...Fundamentally, it is nothing but
an extension of the love of play which is so strong a force in
man and which has never been fully tamed by sublimation through
reason. |

Franz Rosenthal |
| Sure,
there is tension and nerves. But you take the greatest
dramatists in the world - Shakespeare, Shaw - they could not
improve on their scripts you get in ballgames. |
|
Bookie Lem Banker |
| The
typical gambler may not really understand the probabilistic
nuances of the wheel of the dice, But such things seem a bit
more tractable than, say, trying to raise a child in this
lunatic society of ours. |
|
Arthur S. Reber |
| Games
are significant in people's lives because in a game everything
is clearly defined. You've got the rules and a given period of
time in which to play; You've got boundaries and a beginning and
an end. And whether you win, lose, or draw, at least something
is sure. But life ain't like that at all. |

James Jones |
| The
Watergate cover-up turned into a poker game on a national scale.
It was, in an obvious sense, the biggest bluff that Nixon ever
ran, the basis of which was that if the full weight and prestige
of the Presidency were committed to the cover-up, Congress would
not see. |

David Spanier |
| There
is no doubt that Krushchev would have been a superb poker
player. First, he is out to win. Second, like any good poker
player, he plans ahead so that he can win the big pots. He likes
to bluff, but he knows that if you bluff on the small pots and
fail consistently to produce the cards, you must expect your
opponent to call your bluff on the big pots. |

Richard Nixon |
| We
Egyptians are gamblers. Wherever Egyptians are gathered, you can
be sure that sooner or later they will start gambling. It is not
that we wan to win money or anything, we just like to gamble. We
are lazy and we like to laugh. It's only when gambling that we
are wide awake and working hard. |
