Just like good old Dostoyevsky I am a bit of a gambler myself.
In fact, I see close connotations between photography and gambling.
I gamble each time I press the shutter release. I strongly believe (I would even bet high on it) that I know what the outcome will be, or do I?
Then again, I don't want to miss out on the opportunity! Should I double up or split or wrap it up and quit

How many times was I surprised by the result and how many times was I devastated by the failure?
I wonder whether NG has some gamblers out there...
