How does the house win in Roulette?

There are an equal number of red and black spaces but because the 0 space is green, it shifts the odds in favor of the house. Betting red pays 1 to 1 but the odds, because of the 0, are actually 1.111 to 1.

How old is gambling?

Archaeologists have discovered gambling implements in cave drawings as well as in ancient Egypt, China, and Rome. The ancient Greeks believed even the gods gambled.

"Moderation? It's mediocrity, fear, and confusion in disguise. It's the devil's dilemma. It's neither doing nor not doing. It's the wobbling compromise that makes no one happy. Moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. It's for those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or die. Moderation...is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew."

Dan Millman quotes from "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior"
