Like the old gambler said, predicting the future is really ****ing hard.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Do you mean gamblers in the sense of someone who goes in knows the odds, counts cards, plays sports and video poker, progressive slots, and games which can actually be beaten? OR the more common money down a hole type?
The money down a hole type have FAR more sayings I think. And seem to be less relevant. Aces follow faces. Thin to win. Its gonn POP soon. and so forth. The best gambler I ever met, the firt type, always told me it was unlucky to be behind at the end of the day.

Never play cards with a man named after a city.
Never sleep with a woman with a tatoo of a dager on her body. And never hit your mother with a shovel, it leaves a dull impression on her mind. |

I make a lot more money playing cards than I do playing the horses or bowling... But that's only because I can't palm a horse or shuffle a bowling alley.

Upon googling "Gambling Quotes" here are a few...
"Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do, and I gave the common-sensical reply that we don't have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact, women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage." .Baccarat is a game whereby the croupier gathers in money with a flexible sculling oar, then rakes it home. If I could have borrowed his oar I would have stayed." ~Mark Twain "Casinos and prostitutes have the same thing in common; they are both trying to screw you out of your money and send you home with a smile on you face. "

One I frequently use right after someone has randomly bet big and won that hand:
"Remember folks, the more you bet, the more you win... .........when you win..." One time, when the count was through the roof, I correctly split a pair of tens, and some woman started laying into me about when what a stupid move it was. (For Basic strategy players, she was right.) She went on and on and wouldn't shut up. Finally, I said (to no one in praticular) "If I'd wanted to hear an ugly woman screech and nag at me , I'd have stayed home with my wife." Her husband didn't even flinch, poor guy. |

The winners tell stories while the losers yell, "Deal!"
Will you walk into my parlour? said the Spider to the Fly,
Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy; The way into my parlour is up a winding stair, And I've a many curious things to show when you are there. Oh no, no, said the little Fly, to ask me is in vain, For who goes up your winding stair -can ne'er come down again. |
