Deep thoughts of famous personalities about excitement and passion for the game

Anton Chekhov

“You, of course, will say: “What meanness!” We are in poverty, and he is playing roulette there.” But I personally am very pleased with myself. At least I can now tell my grandchildren that I played roulette and am familiar with the feeling that is excited by this game.”

Chekhov could not be called a gambling person. But while vacationing in Nice, the writer could not resist and visited neighboring Monte Carlo. He started playing roulette successfully, but after five hours of playing he lost everything. There weren’t many similar experiences in Chekhov’s life, but one was enough, which resulted in the above phrase. And he noticed how captivating this feeling of excitement is, which he probably heard a lot about from his colleagues in the creative workshop.

Charles Bukowski

“Some say they play in the hope of luck, others supposedly like the atmosphere, and others say they like the spectacle. In fact, everyone strives for one thing - to win. It relieves tension"

The caustic, prickly, slack and always drunk genius Charles Bukowski found an outlet in betting on races. He came to the hippodrome as if he were going to work. Sometimes, fired from another office, he was saved only by earnings from bets. In some things, and in them he was a real professor. Bukowski did not play at random, but carefully checking the system that had been worked out over the years. And sometimes he won money, which helped him idle for weeks. And write your irreconcilable stories and novels.

Quotes from rich people about gambling and gamblers

No less surprising and profound are the words of people with enormous wealth. It is worth listening to them, perhaps in the future you will be able to get rich. Donald Trump, a billionaire, the current President of the United States, and part-time owner of several casinos, also has quotes about gambling. The most famous of them is the following: “A gambler is a person who spends all his time on slot machines. I prefer to own them."

Billionaire genius Bill Gates did not stand aside from Donald Trump and gave the world this quote: “Business is an incredibly entertaining game, it combines maximum excitement with a minimum number of rules.” Despite the fact that he rarely visits casinos, the father of computerization is confident that the gaming process helps to be on his toes and allows him to collect his thoughts.

Charles de Montesquieu

“We generally like the game because it inflames our stinginess, in other words, the hope of having more.”

“Everyone in the world loves the game; and the most prudent people willingly surrender to it until they see all the violence, tricks, delusions, loss of money and time associated with it, until they understand that they can spend their whole lives on it.”

Charles Montesquieu. Thinker. Philosopher. He read a person like a book. For him, the game was just another experience that helped him see the flower of human passion for winning unfolding even in the midst of the frosty winter of poverty. No one is protected from the worship of the game, but only the most, as he called them, prudent can sense the danger and save themselves in time from the most extreme temptations.

Through gullible bloggers, the four online horsemen of the apocalypse are increasingly penetrating the network - online casinos, unregistered bookmakers, cases and binary options. Moreover, each of them siphons money from a specific target group. Cases - from children; binary options - from smart people; bookmakers are the ones who think they are smart, and online casinos are the ones who are completely stupid. If you can somehow make money on options and bets using your intelligence and luck, then in an online casino you will probably simply lose all your money, and thanks to the starting bonuses, even those that you did not have. The worst thing in this situation is that in numerous advertising videos on social networks, online casinos are positioned as a way to make permanent money. One hundred rubles found in a winter jacket can just as easily be called a stable income. Tags: Druzhko Show // Sergey Druzhko // sarcastic quotes // casino // income //

Mafia contact: Oh, and Jefferson didn't please you? Jack Cogan: My friend, Jefferson is an American saint because he wrote that all men are created equal. Which he clearly did not believe in, since he left his children in bondage. A rich snob who did not want to pay taxes to Britain. He tweeted beautiful words and raised people who went to die for these words. And he sat, drank expensive wine and fucked his slave.

I used to have a passion for gambling. But thirty years ago I moved to Las Vegas, and it healed me. My impresario at the time taught me something. He said: if you go to a casino to gamble, write checks there. This is one of the smartest things I've ever heard in my life. Because when you get a canceled check back and see how much money you wasted... you could have given it to your family or your girlfriend. And losing is like going to the shore of the Mississippi and throwing them into the water. In general, when I saw how much money was being wasted, everything disappeared.

Vladimir Zhemchuzhnikov

“Excitement is a state we enter when we lose our temper”

One of the aphorisms of the unforgettable Kozma Prutkov, a virtual character invented by the Zhemchuzhnikov brothers. A brilliant play on words is designed to draw attention to something that does not stick with the reader in the form of boring notations. Indeed, gambling forces a person to open up and let out what is hidden in the depths of the soul in everyday life.

Armand de Richelieu

“Whoever avoids the game loses it”

Who doesn’t remember the famous scene from the Soviet film about the musketeers, where Cardinal Richelieu, playing chess, invites D’Artagnan to come over to his side, that is, to play for him? The smart and cynical politician Richelieu did not eat his bread in vain, being, in fact, the main person of the state while the king performed ceremonial functions. This aphorism tells us that if you want to have more than what you currently own, then you need to take risks. Richelieu considered the unchangeable state of affairs for a long time a defeat. Moving forward is associated with risk, and therefore with play.

Madame de Stael

“The hardest thing for a player to bear is not the fact that he lost, but the fact that he has to stop playing.”

It was not for nothing that Napoleon himself did not like her sharp tongue. There were enough defeats in her life, and there were many failures, but in her desire to break into high society, Madame de Stael constantly started a new game, because she saw life itself in this. There is no doubt that she must have noticed in high society salons that people did not want to interrupt the game for a minute; losing only provoked them.

Quotes from famous players

The great philosopher, prose writer and poet often visited gambling houses and had a cool attitude towards religion, which considers gambling a sin. He owns the following quote about gambling: “With religion, the same thing happens as with gambling: if you started out as a fool, you will definitely end up as a cheat. For such statements they tried to excommunicate him from the church.

Guy Ricci, a popular director and screenwriter, also visits the casino, where he gets ideas for his projects. The following quote belongs to him: “The desire of a gambler is to become smarter. Azart is not a bad guy, he’s just very smart.”

Literary critic, French writer, gambler, Anatole France, gave some great quotes about gambling. Among the most popular are the following:

“It’s easier for a player to win one dollar than to earn ten through his own labor” to play casino online.
“There are many more ways to lose savings than there are ways to win.”
“The game is a god that has its own worshipers and saints who adore it for its own sake and for its promises. It happens that she robs them unnecessarily, they blame her for this, and all the bills are addressed only to themselves. “I played poorly,” they say. But at the same time, the players repent, and do not blaspheme.”

Their casino-related words have a deep meaning. It's worth re-reading several times to catch it. Behind every phrase there is wisdom, experience and observation.

Alexander Pushkin

“The passion for the game is the strongest of passions”

Pushkin, as a great poet and person, can be forgiven for both the banality and brevity of the phrase. And who else can you trust with the simplest but most accurate words? Let philosophers compete in the beauty of the word and the complexity of the syllable, the classic is allowed to be brief. Pushkin played a lot and lost a lot. After his death, he left thousands of debts. But he was never able to pacify his passion. What can I say - a man of passions!

Arthur Schopenhauer

“The card game is a clear manifestation of mental bankruptcy. Unable to exchange thoughts, people throw cards."

The grumpy philosopher did not trust everything that comes from passion; he was more attracted to the fruits of a great mind, which, no doubt, he also possessed. And Schopenhauer saw that if play were not the mistress of the human soul, it would not live among people, because rationality would destroy it in the bud.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa

“Since ancient times, there are no pessimists among those who are fond of gambling; this shows how similar gambling is to human life.”

A man lives, although he knows that he is mortal. Isn't this pessimism? Akutagawa was not the first to mention the analogy between life and play. Let us remember Shakespeare with his unforgettable “Our whole life is a game”; let us remember hundreds of similar statements. The optimism inherent in the player allows him to despise everyday worries and problems, but the Japanese writer saw here parallels with life itself, which an optimistic person lives brightly and with risk.

Aphorisms and quotes about passion and gambling

Gambling is the child of avarice, the sister of injustice, the mother of malice. D. Washington.

Excitement is when a person is thrown either hot or cold from a reckless act. V. Zubkov

The passion in the game is stronger than the passion in love. Japanese proverb

For a gambler, the two greatest pleasures are winning and losing. French saying

The same thing happens with religion as with gambling: if you start out a fool, you end up a cheater. Voltaire

A player would rather win one dollar than earn ten.

There are many more ways to lose money than ways to win.

The probability of winning is inversely proportional to the bet amount. McGoon's law of play

If you want to win for sure, invent your own game and don’t tell anyone the rules. Ashley Brilliant

The business of gambling that is called business frowns upon the business of gambling. Ambrose Bierce

There are no pessimists among those who enjoy gambling. A. Ryunosuke

Excitement is a state we enter when we lose our temper. B. Zhemchuzhnikov

Those who can afford to gamble do not need money; and those who need money cannot afford to gamble.

There is no stronger faith than faith in slot machines.

Business is a fascinating game that combines maximum excitement with a minimum of rules. Bill Gates

Slot machine: mousetrap for fools.

Las Vegas has absolutely everything you need for gambling: craps, roulette, slot machines and churches for an immediate wedding.

Marriage is the only gamble blessed by the church.

The lottery is the most accurate way to count the number of optimists. S. Obukhov

Your chances of winning the lottery will increase if you buy a ticket. Winston Groom (from Forrest Gump Rules)

The one who plays well is the one who plays without an opponent. An old French saying

The best dice roll is out the window. Horace Smith

The lottery is a tax on fools. William Petty

I did the math and it turns out that your chances of winning the lottery are the same whether you play or not. Fran Lebowitz

Women are less likely to get involved in gambling: their passion for gambling is realized in marriage. Germaine Greer

The passion to which people pursue pleasure is the best proof that they are unable to find it. Gilbert Keith Chesterton
