Gamble?
As I am a bit of a tightwad when it comes to losing money I cannot really relate any tales of losing my months wage on a fruit machine, card table etc etc. I have, however, taken a few gambles with my own life on various occasions and thought I would regale you with the tale of the one of those instead.

I am a bit of a nerd and during my spare time I would spend it on line under my alias, pissing about with likeminded people and attempting the odd bit of hacking here and there (I am a Computer programmer by day so this thing is pretty easy for me).

Anywhoo, one day I was playing an online game when it all went wrong. I was dragged into an office and interrogated for acts of terrorism and forced to wear a electronic tracking device- all thanks to me dicking about on the internet (I am making light of the situation but believe me it was pretty creepy at the time).

To make the situation worse I later met up with the so called terrorist organisation (who were looking for me too) and found out a few home truths about the government and the so called officials that I had been interrogated by. This is where I took the first real gamble in my life and took the red pill to go to reality.

I don’t know what was worse living in bliss in the fake computer controlled world or living in the real world underground wearing rags, and knowing that I have spawned two sequel films that were dire.
