Dropping in to the nearest branch of the city library to renew my card, I looked around afterwards for books with which to put that card to use. After a few moments, one volume in the display of “new books” caught my eye. Lucky Devils by Kit Chellel was subtitled “The True Story of Three Rebel Gamblers Who Beat the Odds and Changed the Game.” While the conviction I’d just lose money and risk addiction keeps me far from that subject myself, in this case I suppose I was willing to take a chance on “vicarious thrills.”
