Just for the record, I hardly ever gamble. There's a riverboat casino in my town and every once in a while my wife and I will go blow a couple bucks each on the nickel slots but that's it. Well, except for the first time I ever went when I lost like $30.

When reading this I began to appreciate how closely gambling is connected with false worship. In fact, it made me think back to how we would often note that persons won their first bets—“beginner’s luck,” we would say. But now I am convinced that this is the Devil’s scheme to lure people to gamble, in some way manipulating matters so they win at first, thus ensnaring them into a degrading form of false worship in which they come to idolize money and Good Luck.
Which is why I've never gambled. The first time I *do*, it'll be a biggee. I'll take my 20 large and never bet again.
