One of the worst things that can happen to you in life is
to win a bet on a horse at an early age.
:lol:
My advice to the unborn is,
don’t be born with a gambling instinct
unless you have a good sense of probabilities.

True luck consists not in holding the best of the cards at the table; luckiest is he who knows just when to rise and go home

I saw this comment on the topic of Rodgers and Balotelli and I thought it applied here as well, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results".
Sounds like being a Leeds supporter.... :?

Krusty: Well, I lost your violin to a bet in a poker game.
Sophie: I can't believe you would gamble with something that meant so much to me.
Krusty: Wait, time out. Four aces is not a gamble.
