Risking on gambling

The Economist magazine just did a Special Report on gaming and wagering:

You bet

Shuffle up and deal

The risk instinct

At war with luck

Bet on the bot

Log on, ante up

Lengthening odds

Cutting off the arms

When the chips are down

The dragon's gambling den

Come all ye gullible

Sure thing
