He is the one that makes it all come to life. He has been eulogised, made a legend and given the status and mystique that is unique, envied and appealing. The gambler is one who is willing to put it all on the line, go against all the odds on a hunch and be the devil's advocate against rational and reasonable thinking. He represents free thinking, free spirit and a non-conformist. His ideals or lack of them makes him stand out from all others.
Here are some of the lessons that all gamblers will at some time learn for themselves. They have been collected and put together to give an understanding and a guide to wannabe gamblers and those who are already gambling.
Gambling can make a person do some strange things, from the highs of winning a jackpot in the casino to the low and helpless state of losing it all gaming.
