“How many times during your gambling years have you been told ‘you’ll never beat the bookies’ or ‘win today, give them it all back tomorrow’? Thousands of times I’d wager. But who are these people who tell you this? I’ll tell you. They are exactly like some of those horses I’ve been on about — the one paced plodders of life. They have no success, courage, or sense of adventure themselves and get their kicks by telling you how wrong you have been and how the whole world is really a massive conspiracy against the ordinary little working man. Dump these people immediately or they will drag you down into mediocrity with them. You will end up chained beside them in some moronic factory all your life while the boss is living it up at Ascot with all the champagne and birds he can handle.” — From “Always Back Winners,” by Stewart Simpson
