Gambling
There's no way you can make money from gambling. It's better to work for your money. A person who depends on luck will find himself very unlucky. But if you enjoy the trills of the ups and downs that gambling provides... by all means... enjoy yourself. ~ PGA

LUCK
.
Why am I so UN-Lucky? The answer is -- it's because you depend on luck. The odds of getting a 6 from a roll of a dice is 1 out-of 6. You can improve the odds by placing it rather than rolling the dice. Now, that would be cheating and it's not right in a game that does not allow this. But some games allow you to "cheat". Especially when answers are given or when methods are taught way before a test. Do you depend on luck by not studying?
Oh by-the-way, I've decided to use 'Dice' instead of 'Die' because -- 'Dice' is an alternative singular of 'Die' when the plural is 'Dice' -- this is clearer and causes less confusion.

MELBOURNE : A compulsive Australian gambler banned from Sydney's casino blew more than two million dollars (1.5 million US) on the card tables in a neighbouring state in just 43 minutes, a court heard. High-flying property developer Harry Kakavas is suing Melbourne city's Crown Casino in the Supreme Court of Victoria for facilitating his pathological betting, despite knowing he had a problem. Kakavas, 42, was banned by Sydney police from attending the local Star City Casino and he claims the exclusion order should have been enforced Australia-wide, national newswire AAP reported. Instead, his lawyers said rival casino Crown knowingly offered to fly Kakavas to Melbourne on at least 14 occasions and left him gift boxes of 50,000 dollars in "lucky money" on the private jet to help him gamble. During a period of 16 months in 2005 and 2006 Kakavas allegedly turned over 1.5 billion dollars, and was allowed to bet single hands of 300,000 dollars, AAP reported. He lost a total of 30 million dollars, and is suing Crown and its executives for about 20.5 million, AAP said. Crown's lawyer Neil Young said Kakavas was eventually banned from gambling at the casino in August 2006 after losing two million in 43 minutes at the baccarat table. But he rejected claims that Crown had attempted to take advantage of Kakavas. "There was no effort in any sense of the word to lure Mr Kakavas to Crown," Young said. If Crown is found to have breached the Casino Control Act by allowing Kakavas to gamble it could also be liable to pay 700 million dollars in illegally-paid winnings to the Victorian state government. The case continues.
