Gambling is often viewed as a vice. This seems quite strange especially in the face of the old adage 'you have to speculate to accumulate' Surely we owe the advancement of the human race as a whole to a gamble. The first human to leave Africa and set sail accross the sea to seek 'pastures new' took a huge gamble. Winston Churchill gambled when he refused to surrender to the forces of Nazi Germany led by that champion of equality Adolf Hitler. I myself took a huge gamble this morning when I left the house without a jacket. Nobody sees gambling as a problem when my granny heads off to the 'bookies' during the first week in April every year to stake a few pounds on what i can only describe as a brown unicorn without a horn running in the Grand National. Obviously there is risk involved in gambling, I feel more than a bit silly stating the obvious, but surely within reason gambling is not being bad, well, not unless your really bad at it!
