You should never challenge "worse." Don't ever say, "Things couldn't get
worse." Worse is rough ... I was down to my last two hundred dollars. I
mean, not to my name, but I lost all I could sign for. And I said, "I'm
gonna win something! It can't get worse!"

I went over to the roulette wheel. And got two hundred dollars' worth of
quarter chips. Covered the table--I mean, covered the table! Red and black,
even up. I'm going to win something before I go to sleep. And the guy spun
the ball and it fell on the floor.
