The perfect trivia-reference source for the great lines from gambling or gambling related movies. The book is a compendium of movie lines, book quotes, proverbs and poems—all which contributed greatly to the picturesque world of gambling. Hemingway, Groucho Marx, Woody Allen, P.T. Barnum, Tolstoy and Nelson Algren all have one thing in common—they had something to say about gambling. Sections divided into topic areas like Luck, Winning, Losing, Mavens, Poker and Cards, Dice, Horses, Hustlers, Kibitzers, High Rollers, Suckers. Chico Marx was quoted once: "If I lose today, I can look forward to winning tomorrow, and if I win today, I can expect to lose tomorrow. A sure thing is no fun." Or as James Caan says in the movie, The Gambler "I’ve got magic powers. I’m scorching. I’m hot as a pistol." More than 700 quotes, easy to use index (of persons quoted). Marvelous gift item for the literate gambler, one who loves a short joke, quote or lessons about life and gambling in particular. 326 pages, hardbound. 1999.
