Yeah, I've gotten myself into (gambling) situations where I would not walk away and I've pushed the envelope, ... It's very embarrassing...one of the things you totally regret. So you look at yourself in the mirror and say, 'I was stupid.'

I've gotten myself into [gambling] situations where I would not walk away and I've pushed the envelope,

That's about $9 million a year, and for a gambling ring that's not a big operation. It's not notable for the size, it's notable for who the players are that are placing the bets.

There's a cost to everything. The positive is, you're getting an arena. But, you're in bed now with gambling as a way to pay that off. You're making the money from people who can't afford it.

But I definitely don't think this is the right time to discuss this. Gambling is a very, very divisive issue. And right now we need to spend all our time reaching consensus on how to rebuild our infrastructure, bring our people back home and offer incentives to businesses to get them up and running.

Be prepared, work hard, and hope for a little luck. Recognize that the harder you work and the better prepared you are, the more luck you might have.
