The Quotable Gambler

The Quotable Gambler

by PaulLyons (Editor)

Synopsis

From Casablanca to The Hustler, from Moby Dick to How I Made $1,000,000 Playing Poker, these widely varied comments address the entire range of human emotion -- the highs of excitement of the juice down to the depths of despair of losing. Covered here are gaming's universality and history, superstition and luck, players and places, and also every game, from the lowliest back-alley crap shoot to the highest-stakes poker contest and everything in between.
