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

  • Tamrin Tun Ghafar
    BANDUANBANDUAN TERHORMAT ?Tamrin Tun GhafarSabtu - 01/12/24( 1 - 14 )1. Puas saya mencari dalam mana - mana kamus termasuk kamus Dewan Bahasa makna dan maksud 'BANDUAN TERHORMAT' tetapi gagal2. Belum ada dalam sejarah istilah ini di gunakan dalam dunia termasuk di Negara - Negara miskin samada di Benua Afrika dan Negara - Negara di Amerika Selatan apatah lagi Negara Maju3. Hanya di Malaysia sahaja istilah ini di perkenalkan oleh seorang banduan yang kini dengan sokongan Parti - Parti lain. termasuk DAP , sebuah Parti TERBESAR dalam..gabungan Pakatan Harapan atau PH membolehkan beliau di lantik sebagai Perdana Menteri ke 10 , jawatan yang di idam - idamkan sekian lama4. SUDAH TERLALU LAMA saya MENUNGGU seperti : MENUNGGU BULAN JATUH KE RIBA namun Anwar MASIH TAK BERANI bertindak BERANI KERANA BENAR TAKUT KERANA SALAH5. Ada yang mengingatkan dan ada juga bosan dengan tuduhan LIWAT itu 6. Sebagai orang Islam saya juga tahu hukuman terhadap pemfitnah dan kepada yang bosan itu , NASIHATKAN lah Anwar MENYAMAN MALU terhadap saya di Mahkamah , dan JANGAN MENANGGUHKAN PERBICARAN itu seperti kes tuduhan Tun Dr. Mahathir yang mencabar beliau menunjukan bukti 6 kotak bukti berhubung konon nya Tun sakau duit Negara berbillion ringgit7. Pada MULA nya Anwar yang MINTA PENANGGUHAN dan kini sudah hampir setahun Anwar masih GAGAL berbuat demikian tapi maseh bercakap berkenaan nya dengan tidak menyebut nama orang yang di maksudkan8. Harap tidak ada usaha dari sesiapa yang MENEMUI dadah dan Pistol dalam kereta saya seperti yang berlaku pada Yusuf Rawther dan TAK PERLU gunakan Polis dan MCMC merampas fon bimbit saya seperti yang berlaku kepada Chegu Bad , Papagomo , Naim Brandage dan ramai lagi yang AMAT menyampah kepada Anwar9. Dulu saya katakan Mahiaddin gagal , begitu juga Ismail Sabri lemah sebagai Perdana Menteri10. Baru - baru ini BERSIH memberi Grad D dan Parti BERSATU pula memberi Grad F kepada Anwar dan Kerajaan beliau11. ANWAR , SEORANG PEMBOHONG YANG SUKA BERJANJI TAPI TIDAK MENUNAIKAN JANJI - JANJI TERSEBUT , MAKA SAYA SIFATKAN BELIAU TERMASUK DALAM GOLONGAN ORANG 'MUNAFIK' SELAIN DARI BAPA PEMBOHONG No. 1 NEGARA12. Kegemaran Anwar ialah LIWAT , LIWAT dan LIWAT13. SAYA MENUNGGU TINDAKAN SAMAN MALU BELIAU DI MAHKAMAH JIKA SEKIRA NYA SAYA MEMFITNAH14. Pepatah Cina ada mengatakan : NANG BO TI NANG KUI BO TI KUI bermaksud Orang Bukan Hantu Pun BukanWassalamTerima KasihTERHORMAT -
