A message from Bob Dietz and Sky Masterson:
"One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an earful of cider." Sky Masterson (Guys and Dolls/1955)
"If anyone is betting on W2G provenance, bear in mind 1) what Axel just said, (2) with a little preparation, anybody can assume a tax burden for something whether they won a jackpot or not, and (3) any jackpot wagers should involve both specific dates and times and who from the casino witnessed the event." Bob Dietz (author of Scientists, Gamblers and Magicians -- Allies Against the Irrational/1982)
