On a Roll of the Dice

Chris Hall55 Comments

The wheel spins
which one will win?
how much has each invested?
This week’s wage
a watch, a car?
Too much, for sure
don’t doubt it.
The stakes are high
their dreams are huge
the risk of loss is greater.
Don’t bet your life
on the draw of a card
for only the house
always wins.

The image shows three men, one covering his eyes, the other covering his ears and the last one covering his mouth with their hands.

  18. Very good advice. Never bet what you can’t afford to loose.
    If you do ‘bet’ for entertainment – as some do set an amount. Put your winnings if any in a different pocket and when your ‘fun money’ is gone – walk away.
