Top Gambling Quotes To Live (and Bet) By by Ashleyokeneye(f): 2:14pm On Jan 27, 2023 |
Gambling has been around since the dawn of man, so it should come as no surprise that there’s been some talk on the subject over the years. You’ll find references to gambling almost anywhere you look, from ancient proverbs and quips from literary heroes to words of wisdom from professional bettors. Here are some of the most memorable gambling-related quotes. “Quit while you’re ahead. All the best gamblers do.” You’ve probably heard these words at some point, but you’d be forgiven for not knowing who said them. They came from a Spanish Jesuit priest, Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601-1658). He was also a writer and philosopher whose most famous work was a book called ‘The Art of Worldly Wisdom’. Sounds like an art every bettor should master. “The excitement that a gambler feels when making a bet is equal to the amount he might win times the probability of winning it.” Blaise Pascal was something of a genius. An inventor, mathematician, physicist, and theological writer, the Frenchman’s mathematical mind was sought out by fellow mathematical theorist, Pierre de Fermat, to decipher a gambling issue. Their correspondence on the matter laid the foundation for the modern-day theory of probability. “I want people to understand, gambling is not a bad thing if you do it within the framework of what it’s meant to be, which is fun and entertaining.” While these are definitely wise words, the fact that they come from Michael Jordan means that we should take them with a grain of salt. The basketball legend has reportedly lost millions in gambling wagers over the years (It’s also been rumored that his early resignation for the game was really a suspension due to his gambling antics). “In gambling, the many must lose in order that the few may win.” George Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright, critic, and political activist. He also had strong feelings against gambling which were the bases for his essay entitled, ‘The vice of Gambling and the Virtue of Insurance’. click here www.ilot.ng to start betting 1 Like

"The Art Of Wordly Wisdom" - Baltassar Gracian. ![]() An ideal read for anyone who wants to be truly successful, though the Bible comes first for me. |
