    I have personally never gambled (online that is) as my grandfather used to always say that's it's a tax for the poor and you'd never seen anyone successful gambling.

  • and you'd never seen anyone successful gambling

    Tell that to my former investor Ed Moncada. Think he made about $3m from poker before he diversified.
