Grumbling about Gambling

I never considered myself a gambler. I've never played cards for money, never placed a bet, never bought a lottery ticket (except to support some school project, considering the money spent as a donation). So, what do I do? I take the biggest gamble in my life - start a publishing company. It's not a subsidy company or a authors-pay-for-umpteen-million-copies-up-front company. We pay royalties and edit everything and expect high quality books.

If I could get some gamblers to take a chance on 4RV, I could give a portion of the profit in five years to gamblers (investors). Let's see, if I promised a share of ten percent of the profit to be split among those willing to take a chance -- Hey, it worked in Oklahoma. Gambling was legalized to get more funding for "education." Of course education hasn't gotten nearly as much as promised, but I can promise more than probable, too.

I know; I know. I'm just grumbling.
