Very interesting thread.......And please forgive me if what I am about to say is an over simplification of the facts BUT...
I remember Ray Charles being interviewed on 60 minutes once and one of the questions they asked him is what he liked to do for entertainment when he wasn't performing. And he said he LOVED to play blackjack for money, the person doing the interview kinda laughed, And then he asked Ray that since he was BLIND isn't that kind of a risky form of entertainment ?
Ray seemed surprised and asked what they meant ....And the interviewer said "Since your blind aren't you afraid of getting cheated by the people your playing against ?"
Charles laughed like crazy and said "If I have to worry about being cheated I DON'T PLAY"
