Keep telling him telling him … if he is going to bet on that sort of foolishness, he may as well bet against that number. The wheel might not be true.

It took me an entire evening of playing a roulette wheel while pretty girls kept bringing gin and tonics to lose my original twenty buck stake, and I left. I’ve spent twenties more foolishly than that evening. I’ve polished enough coins in slot machines in NCO clubs in Korea to blacken my fingers before I learned their lesson: you won’t lose much, but you will lose. Which is foundational to the idea of gambling, I think. You won’t lose much, but you will lose. The institutions (casinos, lottery commissions, etc) wouldn’t and couldn’t exist if it were any other way.
