I really enjoyed this column. Raises some interesting thoughts such as *what really is the difference between gambling and investing? " I dare say not much.
Gambling and investing involve an incredible amount of money and because of inherent greed amongst humans it is inevitable that somebody would devise a method of gaining an advantage over somebody else besides the anticipated and desired method of knowledge and understanding. Predicting the future, after all, is mostly uncertain. Manipulation of various aspects is bound to happen which would be classed as corruption. In "Vegas" they have rules to try to prevent this coupled with penalties which would appear to be much more severe than the crime itself (a hole out in the desert). But even at that, there are still those who are willing to try to beat the odds. Thanks, Levi.... Dan Hart...
