00:32 - The average man is born with an inborn urge to gamble.
00:36 Take the case of Mr. G.G. Gief.
00:39 Gief was never too busy to enjoy risking his hard earned dough
00:43 on the chance of making an easy buck.
00:45 - Football pool, George?
00:46 - You bet.
00:47 He was a soft touch
00:49 on the latest gambling pads of the moment.
00:51 - Chain letter?
00:52 - The Chinese saloppity?
00:53 - Join a pyramid club?
00:54 - Irish sweepstakes?
00:56 - Hey, George, not you for lunch.
00:58 - Okay, Joe.
00:59 - Gee, I won again.
01:01 - Thanks, George.
01:02 - At every turn, Mr. Gief met with opportunities to gamble
01:08 and loose change always burned a hole in his pocket.
01:11 He was a pushover for a one-armed bandit.
01:18 (coughing)
01:24 (upbeat music)
01:26 However, the average gambling man is not easily discouraged.
01:50 He feels his persistence will be rewarded
01:53 and that opportunity awaits just around the corner.
01:56 (crowd cheering)
02:07 - Seven.
02:17 Come to pappy.
02:18 - Gator from the gator.
02:21 - Yeah, three dice, dice.
02:22 - Come here, come here.
02:25 - Sure, dice.
02:25 - Mr. Gief knows that when Lady Luck gives him the sign
02:29 and the dice are hot,
02:30 then is the time to pack it up with the old sock.
02:35 - You made me.
02:36 - You made me.
02:37 You're painting me.
02:38 (crowd chattering)
02:47 - Go hum, easy come, easy go.
02:51 (whistle blowing)
02:52 - Taxi.
02:53 - Mr. Gief is nobody's fool.
02:58 Therefore, his winnings are always deposited
03:00 in sound business investments.
03:02 - There they go.
03:15 (upbeat music)
03:18 - Occasionally, Gief's investments fail to pay off.
03:28 But in spite of these financial fluctuations,
03:31 the average man is a good loser.
03:33 - How you doing, George?
03:34 - Swell, Al, just swell.
03:37 - Of all the gambling games,
03:43 there was none Mr. Gief enjoyed as much,
03:45 as the cozy atmosphere and the congenial company
03:48 of a friendly game of poker.
03:50 - Hi, you fellas.
03:52 - Hi.
03:52 - Hello.
03:53 - Hey.
03:54 - Ah, put up or shut up.
03:57 - Friendly greetings over,
03:58 George Gief analyzes his opponent's hands
04:01 by closely studying their subtle facial expressions.
04:04 Of course, this strategy is a complete flop
04:06 if the players happen to be wearing their poker faces.
04:09 The player must be alert and quick to take advantage
04:13 of every unseen opportunity.
04:15 (thudding)
04:17 One must keep his eyes peeled, even in a friendly game.
04:20 Lay waxes hot.
04:24 - I raise.
04:26 - Raise again.
04:26 - I raise you.
04:27 - I call.
04:28 - The game becomes tense.
04:29 - Cards.
04:30 - Two.
04:31 - Give me five.
04:32 - I'm packed.
04:33 - The stakes are high.
04:34 - Raise.
04:35 - Up.
04:37 - Call.
04:38 - You're light.
04:38 - I bump you.
04:40 - But Mr. Gief's enjoying every minute of it.
04:44 - Raise you.
04:45 - Up four.
04:46 - Four and three more.
04:48 - Up another.
04:48 Take it and bump two blues.
04:52 - I call.
04:53 - I call.
04:54 - What you got?
04:55 - Nothing.
04:55 - Me too.
04:56 - Me too.
04:57 - Me too.
04:58 - A pair of deuces?
05:00 I thought you were bluffing.
05:01 - Break 'em in, George.
05:03 - Thanks, fellas.
05:05 - Lucky George Gief, the winner.
05:09 - Oh my gosh, it's getting late.
05:10 Cash me in, I gotta go.
05:13 (men chattering)
05:15 - Hey, George, what's the idea?
05:17 - George Gief, tonight is your lucky night.
05:22 Now, if your luck holds out,
05:25 you can sneak in without waking the little woman.
05:30 The coast's clear.
05:33 Easy does it.
05:36 One false move and...
05:43 (man groaning)
05:44 - George!
05:45 What do you mean coming home at this hour?
05:47 Take that.
05:48 (dramatic music)
05:49 What a veneerous thing.
05:50 Sick friend fool.
05:51 You've been damned by that squad.
05:53 I work and save and you just throw your money away.
05:57 Think of all the bills we owe.
05:58 Why, George, honey, you won.
06:03 - Uh-huh, took the boys to the cleaners.
06:06 - Oh, how nice.
06:08 Now I can get that cute hat, new dress, shoes,
06:11 paper the hall, new stove, fur coat.
06:15 Take a trip.
06:16 - Easy come, easy go.
