I just spent a pleasant hour or so reading this small collection of gambling stories: http://www.mcsweeneys.net/columns/fading-the-vig-a-gamblers-guide-to-life
Each tells the story of a single bet--on a horse race, a boxing match, blackjack, a chess match, along with reflections on life as revealed in the game in question. I like the author's writing style and hope that there will be more in this series.

Fantastic Link. Also enjoyed Dispatches from an Indian Casino...all 17 of them.
Yeah, I've been enjoying those as well. I also really like Ben Greenman's Charts About Graphs and Graphs About Charts. McSweeney's is a great time-killing site.

Nice talking with you Thursday night at the WPBT gathering at the Sherwood Forest bar. I wish we'd had a little more time to talk throughout the weekend.
Best wishes!
Thanks for the link - I shall take my time reading each entry over the next week or so - very enjoyable, so far!
very nice thanks for this link. I enjoyed quite a few. I am an avid blogger and I like his style as well.
