Why not try to match Wilt Chamberlain's 20,000+ women record paying $3,000/night escorts? I mean, think of the god-like knowledge you'd have at that point.

Speaking from experience, for the compulsive gambler, it's easy to walk away from the table when you're flat broke. The hard part is learning to walk away when you're winning. The gambler's mentality is to "ride the streak," which inevitably leads to riding your bankroll straight into the ground. And yeah, I know I just said the same thing twice. Maybe it's because I'm trying to reaffirm that lesson in my own mind. Anyone know the line on tomorrow's Rangers/Devil Rays game?
