There's a popular remark among gamblers in the part of my country I reside. The saying is expressed like this "if you quit that's when you lose". They use this statement to encourage and give futuristic hope to themselves that no matter how much they loss today or how many wagers they have lost they don't need to quit as it's possible you may be the next jackpot winner tomorrow. For it's like say don't quit yet there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.

In my country there is an expression: "he who does not risk does not drink champagne". We drink champagne on special occasions or holidays or when we want to celebrate something special. The gambler who risked and won can also celebrate his winnings by drinking a glass of champagne. After all, to win a lot of money is a big event. But it happens very rarely. The gambler who lost is likely to drink strong alcohol from his grief, but he dreams that sooner or later he will drink champagne.

This expression does not encourage gamblers to stop and think, rather it pushes them to take risks.

Seeing this I think am some how encourage not to give up on my gambling activities but the question that has always run through my mind is this, how I wish I will be able to know when my winnings will come so that I can make proper arrangements for the celebration because I have taken strong alcoholic drinks to calm my nerves down when ever I encountered losses in gambling so during my days of good wins I wish to have enough expensive wins to celebrate the big win. Champagne is not going to be the only drink that will be made available when I win big rather I will get so many things done that day especially things that will help me get rid of all the emotional stress I have been through since losing funds in gambling. The rule has always been never give up I believe one day a gambler will smile.
