About This Quote
This was my first lesson about gambling: if you see somebody winning all the time, he isn't gambling, he's cheating. This is a sad and harsh reality. When I first started gambling, I would see the winners and assume that they were cheating. They looked like they had it all together and I didn't understand why they were winning. Later on in life, if I were continuously losing in any gambling situation, I would watch very closely.
