Yes, we all heard the story of how Ann Niles went to Las Vegas and put money in a slot machine, and instead of the lesson that she wanted to demonstrate about how gambling does not pay, a pile of money poured forth. Of course, that would never happen for me. Even if I did put a couple of dimes in a slot machine, with my terrible luck, the odds are that I would get nothing for it. So, yes, gambling does not pay, at least not for me. So maybe that explains why I never contributed to the office pool, those guys who bet on games. I never did that. Needless to say.
