Pain makes me feel like the earth is still turning

For whatever reason, everyone has made excuses for wanting to fall, or fall into the abyss, or have transcended self-awareness, but most just stagnated.

In my opinion, there are only two sports in the world that face life: boxing and gambling, if gambling is a sport. The former faces the limits of the flesh, the latter faces fate, and the two constitute a complete life. Everyone knows that if you gamble for a long time, you will lose. Why are there so many gamblers who are still trapped in it and cannot extricate themselves. They think that fate is in their own hands, and lucky angels will always come to them.

Maybe they are all waiting for a turning point. The male protagonist's turning point appears in the female students, and the majority of gamblers who are still sinking are where their turning point is. There are too many stories, and the lessons are very profound. Remember: don't gamble to win!

The Gambler quotes

  • Neville Baraka: What about your family?

    Jim Bennett: I got all I could get.

    Neville Baraka: Can I get the money from them? If I send you to Mexico, you know, 'Oh my God! I don't know what happened to him!' Get my friend Valario to mail 'em your dick.

    Jim Bennett: My family don't make the money because they pay up easily.

    Neville Baraka: Apparently that's genetic.

  • Ed: What do you say to the fact that I'm gonna die?

    Jim Bennett: [tearing up] I'm going to miss you.

    Ed: Fuck that. I won't know about that. I need to know what you're worth when I leave you nothing.
