Hi Jason,

Could you tell me more? :) Or if there's a section on your web site -- or some ebook or book or something you've written -- I'd be interested to look into it.... :) [...] > But as for those billionaires that were > gambling long before they made their money, > it could just be that killer instinct that > tells them they have to play to win. I agree, the "killer instinct" I'm sure is quite important for the "high stakes" in most endeavours.... > Interesting subject though. As I was > recently in Vegas, I was knocked over by the > amount of people addicted to playing those > one armed bandits - they all had a need to > "play to win", but something tells > me most were not winning Yes, the problem with the "one-armed bandits" is that there's absolutely no skill whatsoever. I think that's where poker -- and bridge (though do people gamble in bridge? I'm not sure) -- are quite different. > I'd love to hear some others thoughts on > this. Me too.... I hope more people respond.... :) Cheers, Dien |
