When we got married, nobody gave it more than two weeks. There were bets all over the country, with astronomical odds against us.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I know that the odds are against a marriage lasting 60 years.
I've got like a week and a half left, all bets are off.
With gamblers, it's never enough. You keep thinking on a conscious level that the prize is whatever the pot is. In poker, you may have a certain goal for the day. But the truth is, as soon as you win, more often than not the first thing that comes to mind is: If I'd bet more, I would have won more.
The ceremony took six minutes. The marriage lasted about the same amount of time though we didn't get a divorce for almost a year.
I had promised my husband never to accept another engagement. It was hard. It was not a very happy time for me.
I'm not really a betting person. I work too hard for my money to give it away.
I never really gambled - certainly not playing poker. I'd casually bet on a football game or joined a pool.
Marriage is a gamble, let's be honest.
I was close to getting married a long time ago. But it didn't happen, and since then it has not been happening. It is jinxed, and I am very happy. I hope this jinx continues.
I don't take a lot of notice of odds.
