"Gambling ought never to be an important part of a man's life. If it is a way in which large sums of money are transferred from person to person without doing any good, then it is a bad thing. If it is carried out on a small scale, I am not sure that it is bad. I don't know much about it, because it is about the only vice to which I have no temptation at all, and I think it is a risk to talk about things which are not in my own make-up, because I don't understand them. If anyone comes to me asking to play bridge for money, I just say: "How much do you hope to win? Take it and go away."" - C.S. Lewis

That is a very interesting quote from Lewis, Darius.
The gambling bug has bitten me in the past. Thanks be to God that I lost most of the time. Otherwise...who knows the damage I could have caused.
