Blessed reading - and smoking - matter

May 11, 2009

I was in Italy over the weekend. Native friends took me to a church where Francis of Assisi worshipped. At the time, I had a copy of my book, You Bet: The Story of Betfair - How two men changed the world of gambling, which was for passing on to an interested party. The preface to the book touches on the morality of betting. Suffice to say, I did wonder if I should leave the copy at the church doors. That said, the same might equally apply to the Montecristo No 2 cigar I had in my pocket.
