The urge to gamble is so universal and its practice is so pleasurable, that I assume it must be evil.  ~Heywood Broun

All I know is there are some great topics of conversation on the forum at the mo and I have almost no clue about any of them, Take this thread, I thought it was going to be about some disease that you get at the opera.

Me and you both Bobby!

Though the analogy doesn't fit properly, you don't risk grubs to gain more.
Poker is the greed thing IMO, you want more of what you have and are prepared to risk some to gain some, that's the rush, risk v reward.
Same as fruit machines, you win £3 from a £1 investment but greed drives you to carry on overriding common sense.
Though i rarely know what i'm talking about.
