Well, some of them are the happiest people
Who rule the world and import merchandise
From one part of it to another,
And who are always in the right.
Others find themselves beset with doubts,
With a feeling of awe and bewilderment,
Perhaps of awe and mystification and
Therefore they always end where they lose.
But it is not of those who’re like a good gambler,
Who take the loss of a huge good fortune,
The size of a small country’s budget itself,
Without a wince, just for the sake of the fate.
I have never been a gambler and I'm not about to start that now. Since the legalization of the online casino in Canada I have been bombarded by offers of free plays. I don't believe anyone would win millions as they have advertised all over the net, but they don't show you the ones who have had their life-savings drained away.
The only game I play is the lottery tickets which I buy every week for a chance to hit the jackpot. Other than that, nothing else. I believe I'm buying my chances. Even if it doesn't hit the jacket, the ticket is well worth the investment.
I have seen lives ruined by simply taking the bus to Louisiana and pulling on the one armed bandits (button pushing is much faster way to lose). Beneath the flash and glamour of Lost Wages is a certain seediness that underlies a whole city based on big dreams and skimming schemes that make sure that the player always loses.
