Gambling's only worth doing when you know it is a sure thing. That's either being the house, and knowing the percentage... or knowing that you got all the aces stuffed in your corset, jusy waiting for the big score. The only trouble is getting them out without the rest of the table seeing what you are up to, as Paige found out when she tipped her hand! Gamblers in the West are a pretty rough bunch and it doesn't do to let them catch a cheat- their punishment tends to the direct and immediate!
