Casinos make their business to have something for everyone. If you can't stand blackjack, you might just love the slot machines. If the slots do nothing for you, you can take in a floor show. If the show is no good, you can always enjoy a cocktail on the house and just soak in the colorful atmosphere. The room is alive with flashing lights, jangling bells, and the palpable smell of money, and sometimes it seems difficult to form rational thought with all the distractions the senses are offered.
Finally you succumb to the lure of the roulette wheel and the prospect of doubling your fortune in a single spin. You bet everything you have on red. The wheel spins. The ball skitters down. You close your eyes and hold your breath, thinking, Red. Red. Red. Come up red. The croupier cries, "Thirty-one, black!" and you turn and walk away without looking back.
What is your reaction on losing everything to this unkind twist of fate?
