Only part of Arnold Rothstein's representation by the character in the "Boardwalk Empire" series clip that I disagree with is the 'betting it all' part.
You may be surprised with some decent hits from simply 'playing your opinion', and even if you strikeout, you can still pay the electric bill.
If you do well, incrementally increase the minimums.
