wow, I didn't know that
quite interesting
as some say, the house always win, but I like these movies and stories of people who can find an edge and win big over the house too, be it by luck or by finding an edge...

Yeah, those stories are fun to read or watch.

For example, there is an Australian millionaire that made all his money from gambling.

His name is David Walsh and is now an art collector. He created a huge museum in Hobart, Tasmania. He called it MONA, Museum of Old and New Art.

I read his biography the other day, quite interesting character.

But even he says that he was just lucky.

oh, nice to hear!
so, multi millionaire

even if he made his fortune by luck, knowing when to quit is an art too

went to check a bit more about Walsh in case anyone else is interested:

what is the name of the biofgraphy book? couldn't find it so easily.
