You occasionaly hear of someone who steals hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years from their work to support a gambling habbit.
This doesn't make sense to me. I don't know what the maximum pot is at a casino, but if you are able to score $200,000 from your work without it going missing, I say, don't gamble it. Quit your job, take your newly claimed cash and move to another province, perhaps under a different name.
It will be like you won, but without all the hours in a casino.

Unfortch, I don't think there are any reliable investment plans for people who steal $$, incrementally, from their public service or business organizations. Odds are, you're irrational and not very long-term-equipped in the mind to invest your stolen money wisely. I stockpiled my legally-earned, freelance money for about seven months, until I just
couldn;t stand it no more. Then I had to squandor it, and I don;t even gamble. It's hard to save. -Feztickle
I suppose you're right you would have to be irrational to steal.
And yes saving is hard. Money in the bank is like having a piece of chocolate cake sitting in front of you. No matter how much self control you try to have, you will eventually eat that cake . . . or spend that money.
Ahh, but, if the people worked that hard at their jobs, instead of gambling, they could have earnt all that extra money, and won without the prospect of going to prison...
Yes, I agree, Coatman.
But there are some people who don't like to work and are looking for easy money.
And those people are never that bright...
