Yet another way to lose money gambling ...

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rmslade () shaw ca>]

You can lose money gambling.  The legality of online gambling is questionable.  
People can defraud you out of your money with scams like pyramid/pnzi schemes.

But when you get all three ...

(I understand that, in the US, there is a specific law simply asserting that stock 
markets and financial institutions are not ponzi schemes, since nobody can give a 
good definition dividing them from the illegal ones ...)

There were two 'Reigns of Terror', if we could but remember and
consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passions, the other in
heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had
lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon a thousand
persons, the other upon a hundred million; but our shudders are
all for the horrors of the momentary Terror, so to speak;
whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe compared
with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty and
heartbreak? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by
that brief terror that we have all been so diligently taught to
shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the
coffins filled by that older and real Terror -- that unspeakable
bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see
in its vastness or pity as it deserves.                -  Mark Twain
