Excerpt from Gamblers and Gambling Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. These things therefore the soldiers did. I have condensed into one account the separate parts of this gambling transaction as narrated by each evangelist. How marked in every age is a Gambler's character! The enraged priesthood of ferocious sects taunted Christ's dying agonies; the bewildered multitude, accustomed to cruelty, could shout; but no earthly creature, but a Gambler, could be so lost to all feeling as to sit down coolly under a dying man to wrangle for his garments, and arbitrate their avaricious differences by casting dice for his tunic, with hands spotted with his spattered blood, warm and yet undried upon them.

Excerpt from The History of Gambling in England The Chinese and Indian games of skill, such as Chess, are of great antiquity; but, perhaps, the oldest game is that of Enclosing, called Wei hi in Chinese, and Go in Japanese It is said to have been invented by the Emperor Yao, 2300 bc. But the earliest record of the game is in 300 b.c. It is a game; like Kmeg spi, el a game of war. There are not only typical representatives of the various arms, but the armies themselves, some 200 men on each side; they form encampments, and furnish them with defences; and they slay, not merely a single man, as in other games, but, frequently, hosts of men. There is no record of its being a gambling game, but the modern Chinese is an inveterate gambler. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Easy Money: Being the Experiences of a Reformed Gambler I shall endeavor in these writings concerning gambling and gamblers to follow the injunction which the Spartan father gave to his son - to "shoot straight and speak the truth." I am now forty years of age. During twenty-one of those years I have been connected with gamblers; at first as their victim, and afterwards'as their confederate. Bret Harte doped our literature with Mother Shipton and John Oakhurst, but his deified sport is as much the offspring of pure fiction as his sanctified strumpet. I assert, without fear of successful contradiction from those who know, that not one professional gambler in a thousand is at all times absolutely square. He will occasionally, if not always, throw loaded dice, deal from the bottom of the pack, introduce marked cards, extract aces from his sleeve, pull cards from a faro box with a "snake" in it, whirl the ball around an advantage wheel, and control the outcome of a race by doping horses and bribing jockeys. I have been, as a professional gambler, not as bad as the worst of them, but probably as good as the best of them.

Excerpt from The Gambler, and Other Stories At dinner the Frenchman gave himself airs in an extra ordinary way; he was nonchalant and majestic with everyone. In Moscow, I remember, he used to blow soap bubbles. He talked a great deal about finance and Russian politics. The General sometimes ventured to contradict, but discreetly, and only so far as he could without too great loss Of dignity.

Excerpt from Betting Gambling: A National Evil Until comparatively recent years, betting and gambling were largely confined in this country to the wealthy few. Now, however, the practice has spread so widely among all classes of the community that those who know the facts name gambling and drinking as national evils of almost equal magnitude. There is no doubt that the social conscience is as yet only very partially awakened to the wide spread character of the gambling evil and to its grievous consequences. Like a cancer, the evil thing has spread its poisonous roots throughout the length and breadth of the land, carrying with them, where they strike, misery, poverty, weakened character, and crime.
